I am running Window 2000 and Proxy Server. Need to install AOL on my T1. Can't get Aol online. sees the TCIP connection but can't connect. Aol support had me download a patch but that did not help. Nothing on Microsoft site that helps. Tried AOL 6 but AOL had me downgrade to 5.0.

if you have isa server check the log files at
program files/microsoft isa/isa logs/ippextd
you can see if the connection is beeing blocked.
if it is blocking than you should check which
ports need to be open .or use network monitor

settings , in aol should be port 5190 for aol
going out proxy port 1080 use socks 4 also you need to enable websocks proxyon the proxy server for aol
i'm assuming your using ms-proxy
