Might try contacting them and find out if they have firewalls built in, and how to disable itfor a short time when need be.

From what I've read on the forums, there's not much doubt that AOL has built in firewalls.

I don't know if the Windows firewall could be a problem or not. I know my XP has one which I keep turned off because I use Norton, plus my router has a firewall that is on all the time, but has not been a problem.

To access the Windows firewall, open CONTROL PANEL, WINDOWS FIREWALL, and select on or off. You might turn it off if it is on, and see if that does it. You can always turn it back on afterward for protection. If that doesn't help, you may have to contact the ISP.

Something seems to be blocking the transfer of info to MTU.
