			My friend wants to play online, he's already payed for the online service, but he says it doesn't work for AOL. Is there a way?

			AOL and broadband don't fit in the same category. Hehe! Tell him to get a router, that should work.

			aparently only certain aol capable routers can be used, and even those don't work. I just read that AOL will soon support X-Box live, but it's an extra 5 dollar service charge. Jesus. It's not even funny anymore, I can't stand AOL. I just went into their X-Box forums, but not before I was treated to all the EA advertising for their games. This mostly because their game section is brought to them by the letters E and A. I don't understand the purpose of a, i don't want to say fascist, but super controling isp. Aren't most promoted AOL keywords just referers to actual websites?

			yes, you can. just think of the Xbox as a PC (as if that wasn't easy enough already), and you can do so, just connect it to a proxy server running AOL. put 2 network card in 1 computer install and Run AOL on that computer use a crossover cable to connect the PC to the Xbox download and install a proxy server, like Internet Connection Sharing, or Analogx's Proxy and, you are good to go.

			AnalogX's proxy doesn't seem to always work - I highly recommend SohoConnect. Outstanding program, it's a much better program than AX Proxy.

			Thanks for the help guys. I'll tell my friend.

			Try out different proxy servers until you find one that works and that you like. May you have great success in this task.

			That sounds like it should be in a fortune cookie.
