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