AOL ADSL & XBox Live

Is there a way to share the AOL connection using Internet Connection
Sharing, like the Microsoft guide instructs for users of USB ADSL
modems (like the BT Voyager 100 issued by AOL)? I can't seem to find a
connectoid in Dial-Up Networking that corresponds in any way to AOL,
and so have nothing to "share." -- when I'm signed into AOL, all
connections except for my Ethernet card appear "Disconnected."

To share an Internet connection you need to change ISP's to anything else.

The reason you can NOT share an AOL internet connection is because,
first they use a proprietary protocol & second the agreement you agreed
to says you can only have one device connected to AOL at any given time.

You can find a list of ISP's at http://www.dslreports.com plus they will
rate them for you too.

Get rid of AOL! That's your problem. AOL is the only Broadband provider
that doesn't work with the XBOX! It's AOL's crap software. Your out of
luck.
