SYMPTOMS
If you connect to the Internet by using AOL 7.0, you cannot share the connection by using Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).

Client computers on your home network cannot connect to the Internet on this connection. The computer that is sharing the connection to America Online, however, has no problems connecting to the Internet.

If you try to access the properties of the AOL dial-up connection to view the Internet Connection Sharing properties, no properties are available.



CAUSE
AOL 7.0 does not support ICS.
