Networking with AOL

[Steve]

I have a bt voyager broadband modem with AOL,
I have 2 pc's both running xp home edition connected
through a network hub, since installing AOL, I have not
been able to connect the second pc to the internet
through the main pc, because the AOL modem is not visible
in the network connections folder, I have tried endless
times running the wizard without luck but the wizard only
detects the modem, and not the AOL online connection.
The bt voyager modem is visible in the folder but does
not show as connected when AOL is on line. Does anyone
know if this issue can be resolved, as I cant use the
voyager modem, independantly of AOL settings.
Or at least... does anyone know how to find the AOL
connection on the computer, wherever it is hidden.

I had no problems when using dial up modem, on either pc

AOL uses propriety, non standard connection software, witch does not allow
the connection to be shared. So the only way to resolve the problem is to
ditch AOL and sign up with a proper ISP.
