Does anyone know how I can set the browser up so that I can use AOL with it?

Simplely put, you cannot use AOL with DC.

Why? Maybe because he uses AOL. That'd be the only reason though.

Well I had to get a different ISP to use ('nother bill) Now I just need the POP3 and SMTP addresses for MSN Hotmail. I hate trying to find any type of required info on a Microcrap site..............

Curious, why are you trying to get online with the DC at all? Unless the DC online games are still going... but all the good online games are in japan only anyway. Like SSF2X.

Sega.net should still be up since Sega will be using it still for their games (and a few months ago there was a weekend where you could play for free on Sega.net and Penny Arcade did a PSO weekend)
I'm really hoping that somehow I'll be able to use AOL for my Gamecube so I don't have to get my own ISP, but I don't see that happening...I'd have to pay $20 a month for another ISP, and broadband is not an option (too expensive for just me)

I think the reason why you can't get online with AOL is because they might be encrypting your username and password. Thats why you can't get on AOL with DUN. I found out that Free ISPs do that too. If you find out how to get your encrypted username and password you should be able to sign on with your dreamcast.

I heard that too flashman, that some ISPs do something so what you think your username and pass is, isn't actually it, that it's converted into something else when sent to connect. I think so you cannot use other clients someone might make so you could avoid their ads or something.
