Under Windows XP and Windows 2000, skyDSL can be used with an AOL 9.0 Internet connection without having to change configuration if under skyDSL Settings/Routing the default option “collect all data via skyDSL” is active. Surfing and downloading have to be done using MS Internet Explorer or any other browser. The integrated browser provided by AOL cannot be used! If you do not want to use the option “Collect all data via skyDSL”, or if you cannot use it under Windows 98SE and Windows ME, you have to use the skyDSL proxy (127.0.0.1) (option “Only collect data via skyDSL … “). Please create a new connection using the AOL access data (username and dial-in number). In the skyDSL Settings dialog, select the new AOL connection you just created. When using the AOL software (AOL browser …) for surfing and downloading, all data will be exchanged via the terrestrial connection. It is not possible to force the AOL software to use the skyDSL connection.
