I did some research and I found a source for the information your looking for. Before I post said information please answer some of the following questions first:
Do you have a router or a hub setup? What operating system is on your computer? Can you provide any further details that you feel might be important information about your home network? |

Nah you can't wing it cause AOL is rediculiously horrible for internet. Its software on the PC needed to connect means you can't use a router or have a standard network. You need 2 NIC's(Network Interface Cards aka Ethernet Cards) in your PC, and a Cross over cable.
You can learn how to build your own crossover cable: Click Here At Tiger Direct you can buy a crossover cable : Click Here Here is the following instructions found at pso-world: Quote:
* Necessary Items: A GameCube Broadband Adapter (BBA), a networking card (NIC), and an RJ-45 Crossover Cable that will link your networking card and GameCube BBA. (Please make sure you get a Crossover cable, because a standard RJ-45 cable will not work.)
** Windows XP * Step 1: This will assume that you have some rudimentary Windows XP knowledge. There is a way to do this automatically, by using Windows XP's ICS Wizard, but that has failed on me a few times, so I recommend doing it manually. First, navigate to the "Network and Dial-Up Connections" folder, and open it. Are you connected to the internet? If you are, disconnect before you proceed. Now, click on the "Internet Gateway" icon for your connection (modem), right-click if necessary to bring up a sub-menu, and select "Properties". On the window that comes up, hit the "Advanced" tab, and check "Allow Other Network Users To Connect Through This Computer's Internet Connection". (Self-explanatory, isn't it?) Connect to the internet. * Step 2: Connect your GC BBA to your NIC by plugging in the RJ-45 Crossover Cable to both. Start up your GameCube, and when PSO's title screen loads, go to "Options", then "Network Option", then "Provider Option". Hit "Yes" to proceed. If you do not already have a networking file, let PSO create one, and if you already have one, hit "Yes" to edit it. Click on "Network Setup", select the name you want to use, and hit "Edit Menu". After you have modified the name of the ISP connection to your liking, hit "Next", and then click the radio button (circle) for "Automatically Obtain IP Address (DHCP)". Keep hitting "Next" until you have the option to hit "Save", and do so, saving your settings. * Step 3: Try to connect to the 'net with your GameCube. If the connection does not work, you will have to manually set an IP. Proceed with step 4 only if you have to do this. * Step 4: Return to the "Provider Option" menu in PSO. This time, click on "Manually Set An IP Address". Hit "Next", and for your IP address, put in 192.168.0.200. For your Subnet Mask, put in 255.255.255.0. For your Default Gateway, put in 192.168.1.1. Hit "Next", leaving the DNS fields blank, and "Save" these settings. You should now be able to connect. * NOTE: I have heard that it is very difficult to get AOL to work with ICS under Windows XP, but I do not know why. I used the above configuration to get a GameCube to connect through a BellSouth DSL USB modem. It should work just as well with an AOL DSL USB modem, so you shouldn't have any problems. If it does not work for you, then sadly, there is nothing more I can offer. If I do find more helpful information I will edit this post, and add the extra info.

First step Buy that Crossover cable  , they are rather cheap. Then once you got it try and walk through the steps in the tutorial above, and i can help you out with any questions you might have. I'll do whatever I can to assist in getting this work for you. |

It (the commercial) specifically says "AOL for Broadband works with an existing Broadband connection". My friend used to use AOL for dial-up. When he got his Broadband connection, it no longer worked, no matter what he did. But then again, he was happy as hell to get rid of it. |

So I don't need the broadband router or hub??
How do I know if I have 2 NIC (Network Interface Cards) |

No you do not need a hug or a router for this process. Is AOL running into your computer via, USB cable? or is it coming in through a RJ45 ethernet cable into your networking card?
You need 2 network cards in your machine, i doubt you currently do have to in your machine which means you'll need to buy a spare card for about 15-20 dollers.(Also means you'll need to have 1 PCI slot free on your computer, so you have a slot to install the new networking card in) Then you will also need to buy a crossover cable via the links i provided in my post above. So you need a spare 10/100 network card, and a crossover cable. |
