What ISP?
What program in linux are you entering this information into? (I assume your using the KDE or GNOME environment)

Please let me know which one as well.

Also what type of connection (Cable, DSL, Dial Up)

On W98, just do a Start/RUN and type winipcfg. You can then select the More Info button, and you'll have all the IP addresses you need, default gateway, DNS, etc.

On a side note - is it even possible to use AOL with Linux? Not that I would do it by choice, but my parents use AOL and when I'm at home during the summer it's that or nothing. I couldn't seem to get it to work.
