An aol account i was wiring up the other day would not allow PPOA access in
any way, wouldnt allow it through the bt voyager modem (downloaded ppoa
drivers), wouldnt allow it through a 3com router (which does work with aol
ppoa, on another aol account), wouldnt work with a linksys or draytek
router.
All the usual checked:
no unusual characters in username
no long passwords
mtu 1400
no parental control on user name.
Aol where not in the slightest bit interested.
It just would not work on ppoa. A real pain in the arse.
The only way it would work was to set the router to ppoe, with llc,
unfortunately it only allows one computer at a time to access the net, with
the aol browser required.
