MORE INFORMATION

Client Computers

If you use different AOL accounts on multiple ICS client computers, use the AOL dial-up program to establish a connection to the Internet for each ICS client computer. You can use chat, messaging, and e-mail through your Internet connection.

Host and Client Computers

If you use different AOL accounts on an ICS host computer and multiple ICS client computers, use the AOL dial-up program to establish a connection to the Internet on the computer.

If you establish a connection to the Internet using AOL on the ICS host computer while some ICS client computers are already connected, the ICS client computers running AOL 4.0 are disconnected and the ICS client computers running AOL 3.0 are not disconnected. Any ICS client computers running AOL 3.0 or 4.0 cannot establish a new connection until the ICS host computer disconnects.
