Re: the two interfaces
I dont think the proxy is an issue - you are not getting far enough - it only becomes an issue after tcpip is working.
Many isp's check the number that the call comes from - does AOL ? ( normally when people have probs with inet access I config one of my machines to their isp settings - but aol has such a reputation for trashing your existing set up I dont want to risk it)
I was wondering if it is setting itself up while you are on the lan - so installs its software but doesnt correctly set up the modem because it sees the lan ? It seems to be correctly setting up the application stuff - the browser email etc - but not the underlying networking - when it relies on the lan you already have everything is OK, but the modem connection never works.
I would try setting up aol while disconnected from the lan, get it to config through your modem and see how that goes.
