AOL is wierd... you can only log on to one account on one PC, you can'r be on the same on 2 PCs...
I'm guessing that if you have AOL on both machines the PC will be OK but the laptop wont
Because you can only be on one machine at a time per account your desktop PC needs to know that when you want internet it has to give your wireless card access to the AOL network...
if you're PC is not acting as the router/modem then your laptop wont work...
am I talking shit or do you follow me?
