Subject: AOL vs. Linksys router

I am trying to help my parents install a linksys wireless router. They are using AOL with a Cable Modem. I can get the router up and running. the computer connects to it just fine. I can browse the internet with IE. I cannot get AOL to succesfully log in. If I connect the cable modem directly into the computer (bypass the router), AOL connects just fine. Any Suggestions?

Summertop: there might be a firewall configured in the router

i have little experience with firewalls though, so i dont know how you can check :)

Summertop: Check out Linksys's website. (Easier to do with model # of router and such)

Like:

http://www1.linksys.com/support/support.asp?spid=103

But if that page does not help, continue to search Linksys's website - chances are someone else has had the problem and a solution should be there.
