Hello,
One thing that I suggest you try is ping using a large data packet (like
1490 for size). I had a no response problem that turned out to be
misadjusted
MTU settings. It did not affect the outbound packets but the inbound
stuff got dropped because they were over the MTU.
AOL software tends to take over the tcp/ip stack and enforces that
you only use AOL forever (or until the next OS reinstall/Computer Purchase).

Speaking about Internet issues. Has anyone seen a problem like
this one before... On one of my friends machine, he was using AOL 6.0 but
then updated to AOL 7.0 on a Win98 machine. For some reason, while the
AOL service would connect. The TCP/IP stack seems to be severely broken
since they can ping and traceroute but anything else like browsers, ftp,
telnet seems to run into a blackhole as it will seem as if the connection
is down since none of the traffic is hitting the connection. Even when
using a non ISP, the TCP/IP seems to fail during the authentication
process. I've helped him remove the tcp/ip stack by editing the registry
and removing the Dial Up Networking and even updating to Win98SE but the
problem still remains... I've tried using a ethernet connection but the
problem is still ping/traceroute but all other connections fails.
