aol on 2 computers

[joko]

we pay for Aol monthly, but can only use the account on one computer at a time. this is very annoying as we have to keep arranging with each other when we need to use it. we are allowed 7 email addresses so why can only one of us use our account at a time?

does anyone know a way round this - other that paying for 2 accounts.

thanks

if both computers are in the same house then use a router which can be wireless if you like but needn't be. Routers are "always on" and usually have at least 4 ethernet outputs

<DIV>I should add that I have very limited experience of AOL so ask elsewhere before buying anything. I do rememeber though that sign in screen on AOL is very personalised and if you only used IE and not their own browser on the second pc would that help?

AOL really are naughty beggars. I would recommend changing ISP. Anyway, here's a guide to home networking and getting more than 1 person online at the same time :
