Morning all.
I've got a fairly new HP Pavilion Entertainment PC running Vista. AOL is my provider, though I can access the net in other ways such as Opera and IE.
Had an update from AOL over the weekend, which I installed, telling me that because I was on a wireless network, everything was hunky-dory and no sweat.
Now, here comes the interesting bit. When I hit "connect" on the AOL screen, the PC bimbles off and normally connects me, either by TCP/IP or by DSL. Is there a method by which I can choose which protocol? It appears that DSL doesn't want to play and connection is refused. I've had a look at the "Windows Vista for Dummies" book and can't find any steers there.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
