Accessing AOL through wireless modem / router

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

I've given my Vigor 2600we to a friend and am trying to connect to her aol
broadband.

Talked to help desk and all connection info is correct so the configuration
of the modem seems just fine.

However, it won't connect to AOL.

The router says it has a line (and gives an up-time) but there's no AOL
connection.

Has any one else had a problem like this?

If so, did you fix it? and how?

Thanks

Nick

Thanks for that - I'll give it a go (I am in UK), and the current firmware
is well over a year old.
