That model has a built in (internal) V.90 modem. Best bet is to first check your device list to see if the Modem is having any issues.
When AOL starts up, click the options tab and look to see if it can find it again.
If that doesn't work, go to <device manager> (rightclick properties on <my computer>--> click <hardware tab>--><device manager>) within XP and see if the device isn't yellowed out or having issues.
Also, you can go to <My Network places>--><properties> to see your connection that AOL created when it was installed. Check the settings on that (compare with AOL's help site to make sure everything is looking good).
AOL has lots of issues, I worked on many machines in my early years with them and they are a real pain. Best bet is to go to AOL's help site and see if you can't find anything that is in reference to your problem. They most likely have a check list for the issue you are having to help you find the problem.
