You say with dialup you can connect to aol but not the internet, but aol is
on the internet... so I'm not sure what you were trying to do that you
couldn't. I'm assuming you were trying to access a web page through aol,
while connected via the dialup. What happens, what kind of error? Regarding
the wireless, are you connecting at home or work. What kind of service do
you subscribe to that you are trying to access? What happens when you try to
connect to the wireless network?
