Horn" Subject: AOL/Windows 2000 quandry Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed X-Evolution: 00000061-0000 Hi. Some of our frequent traveler faculty and staff use AOL to connect to the web, then check Eudora e-mail over it. In the past this has worked just fine (saving MIT long-distance charges in the process). However, with Windows 2000, it says it can't find their PO box. In Windows 98, installing AOL creates an AOL adapter, and AOL instance of TCP/IP in network properties. I'm guessing that was the way it picked up MIT's network properties and that's why it worked. It no longer does that (i.e. no trace of AOL in network properites), so I guess it's not picking up the network settings. Does anyone have a guess as to how I can work around this? I haven't gotten an answer from AOL after 3 days, so I'm not hopeful they'll help me out. Anita Anita I. Horn MIT Sloan Technology Services (617) 253-6123
