He tried to use IE to browse while I was using AOL and either that is not feasible *or* he is not doing something right. His suggestion is that we set up two AOL accounts, at $9.95 each and that way we can be assured that we can both use our computers at the same time -- we would still be using Comcast as our IP.

So I'm not sure two AOL accounts would solve the problem you are encountering. ---------- Vonda (& Joan), While I don't have Comcast as my provider, I do have Roadrunner + AOL. I frequently have two computers online simultaneously with no problems and certainly no need for a second AOL account!! In fact, I usually have two browsers (AOL & IE) open on the *same* computer at the same time. AOL provides it's own version of IE within the AOL program and does not *use* (and therefore "busy-out") the regular IE on your computer. Sharon
