Or, much easier, restore registry with a backup made before AOL was installed. With some luck, this will restore most of your original ISP settings. Otherwise, call your ISP. They surely will have struck this problem many times and will guide you thru all the settings. There's probably some obscure one you've missed somewhere. Probably can't help you much without knowing what settings your ISP requires. Unless you're VERY familiar with these, there are some in some rather obscure places, and it can drive you nuts trying to find all of them. And even more nuts trying to remember what they all were, even if you thought you'd recorded them all.
