Someone please help. When I access Network Connections
in Control Panel, right click on AOL Dial-On-Demand and
then click on properties, nothing happens. I must have
been able to access it at some time as I have the Windows
Firewall set. Any help would be appreciated.
 
You have windows firewall set thats the problem. Windows
firewall and AOhelL are not compatable. you need to
install a 3rd party firewall (zonealarm is a free one) and
THEN disable the windows firewall.
You can also purchase a good firewall antivirus package
(such as norton internet security).
Your windows firewall is only stoping incoming traffic. It
cant and doesnt monitor outgoing(like worms, spyware,
trojans) you have or unknowingly(yet purposefully)
download.

That's how AOL designed its software: it doesn't allow access to the
connection's properties.

What settings do you want to change?
