RE: AOL from my post on another forum, sorry if it makes no sence
This is the second time it has happened to me, after spending 3 hours on the phone I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was put threw to one and they said the internet was fine so I told them that my ip had changed to a 93 number and not a 172. number, as one of the computers on my network is used by family in Israel I had to give them a new ip, this took ages as there were asleep and I received about 30 email my family in Israel saying they could not connect. AOL IS A NIGHTMARE, OR HOW ABOUT CARPHONE WAIRHOUSE as they are now my new ip, I can not access my web mail since TALK TALK brought AOL

Your AOL webmail is available via www.aol.co.uk or http://webmail.aol.com (Have to sign in)if you are connecting up with a Router and can be accessed from any PC And the Reason you are being blocked is the server of your Relatives or a Firewall is Not allowing You through because as you observed the ISP address is altering everytime.Ask them to see if AOL is Moved to the Allow list on the Firewall and/or Trusted sites list in Internet Explorer as a first step then send a test email(Can you tell me did this work?Please reply) through, and see what happens? This is a security or Email forum issue. Worth a repost in either of those sections and Somebody can get your computer to talk with your relatives computer or their ISPs server if the Things I've suggested don't work
i can show you an error message when sending an email to my aol account
