that should have nothing to do with you service provider. besides AOL uses the same bits-n-pieces of browser code that IE uses (which the BYOND browser uses too i believe).

most likely you've either caught BYOND central during a time when it was being worked on by staff (possible), or experienced heavy traffic on the net that caused your connection to time-out (more likely), or maybe you have a very restrictive firewall?

Try running AOL, minimizing it, and running BYOND. That might work.

This happens to me sometimes as well... usually in a few minutes to an hour, I can correctly contact the HUB again, and all is fine...

How long has it been since it's worked for you?

[EDIT]

I mean, this happens to me on BYOND... I am not an AOL user...

It only works if your access thing is set on 18+ as well. I'm not sure why, but it didn't work for me when I was below that as well. That might be the problem
