Proxy is just full of ip address that anyone is free to use. Sometime most of the free proxy is taken, so some company charge you to get a better free proxy.

For AOL part, i have no freaking clue how to get the ip address. If you connect to AOL right now, then go to Start on the desktop, then click RUn, type "cmd" (XP) pr "command" (older windows) without the quotes then enter. then the DOS screen will appear. Then type "ipconfig" without the quote, then enter.. VOLIA!! your ip address should appear with default gateway and the subnet mask.

If the ip address is 0.0.0.0 then i dont know how to get AOL's ip address. im sure one of the AOLer is still lurking around in this forum should know
