Connection Problems- Only with AOL
The problem started a week to 10 days ago. I can not connect to AOL via my hughes Gen5 connection. We both use aol mail (yes, I know there are better options, and I may look into that, but when you...

Yeah, that option works well if you don't want to use a laptop. I have tried that before, though for me the laptop is much more convenient.
