Uninstall AOL 9 and revert back to AOL 8 - then complain to AOL!

To expand a little on Noel's comment:

For many users this problem is caused by installing AOL9 since AOL 9 uses a
different version of iphlpapi.dll than is included with Win Me and fails to
install it correctly. You can check this for yourself where you will find
that AOL have put a version of iphlpapi.dll in the Program Files\Common
Files\AOL\ACS\winme folder which differs from that in the windows\system
folder.

Since the copy of iphlpapi.dll in the windows\system folder is protected from
alteration or deletion by Win Me's System File Protection (SFP) it cannot
simply be replaced by the copy in the AOL folder. Whilst there are ways of
defeating SFP so that AOL's file can be added to the system folder I
personally feel this is a problem that needs to be remedied by AOL.

If your problem is a result of installing AOL 9 you may want to consider using
System Restore to solve this problem by rolling back your system to before the
problem started and dumping AOL 9 until AOL can get things working correctly
(just don't hold your breath) provided that that was not more than a few days
ago.
