AOL Broadband sharing

I have a desktop which is connected to AOL boadband. Is it possible to allow
my lap top to share the same AOL broadband connection. If so what is the
best way of doing it
Thanks

When I used to be with AOL I used the Proxy server program at this
location, worked very well indeed.

just put the discs in aol give you
you can ask aol its a freecall number

If you want both to connect at the same time and the PC has XP Home as it's
OS then set up a Network between the 2 computers and enable Internet
connection Sharing for the network.
If you want either the Pc or Laptop to use your connection then run your
Broadband set-up CD on the Laptop and plug in your Broadband connection. AOL
don't care which computer is plugged in at your end.

Not too sure if you are a UK user but unfortunately ICS with AOL BB
dont work, Try it and you will see that the DUN that is Created is a
virtual one, and when you try to share it AOL (Client 7 & 8) creates a
new DUN which in turn cannot be shared. The only way i have managed
to get AOL BB shared is by using proxy software, Iproxy does this
well, although not on port 80 and it has a few security issues. The
other successful attempt was with Wingate, although this needed to be
installed on the client machines, it completely killed my Proxy
machine, i have now resigned myself to the fact that i have 5 more
months with AOL then i can go to a real service provider.

If anyone has managed to find a solution to this particular problem
then let us all know, i am sure that there must be a whole host of BB
people out there who have had experience of this problem, there must
be an answer that doesnt involve me using Wingate.

Good luck in the search.
