Hi
Ahh, AOL!

Q.
I have America Online Internet service. Can I use the firewall in
Windows XP?
A.
If you have an America Online broadband Internet connection, you
can turn on the firewall that's built in to Windows following the
steps on the Use an Internet Firewall page:
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/protect/windowsxp/firewall.aspx
If you have an AOL dial-up Internet connection, it can only be
protected by the Windows Firewall if you are using Windows XP
Service Pack 2. If you are running Windows XP Service Pack 1 or
earlier, the firewall does not interfere with the AOL connection.
But you cannot configure AOL dial-up connection software in the
Network Connections folder on your Windows XP computer, therefore
you cannot turn on the Internet Connection Firewall for such
connections. For help in securing an AOL dial-up Internet
connection using Windows XP download and install Windows XP
Service Pack 2 or contact AOL.
