Can you share an AOL dial-up connection?

[ArcticFox]

Is there a way to share an AOL dial-up connection through a LAN on XP? This is on someone elses PC, and he says nothing happens when he right clicks the DUN file and hits Properties....

Any other way?

Best way is to ditch AOL and get a real ISP for 1/3 the cost.

He has AOL 8.0 though.....should he go ahead and install it on the client PC?

[ArcticFox]

Cool....

BUMP.

Called AOL and they said it's not possible.

Thanks for the help anyways.

YES, you can share the connection, but you cannot run the client through ICS. Then the primary computer must be signed on in order for the shared computer to get through.

Ah, dial-up, those were the good old days.

Well, it didn't work no matter what I tried. He can't even open the properties for a dial-up connection for some reason, not sure why.
