Unchecked causes me a lot of problems with AOL when logging into AOL. Running ver 4.19. ID: 116047 ·

It is fixed from 4.25 onwards, where the client remembers the "disable internet access" toggle-state even after a restart. You just shouldn't forget to set the state before switching off the system in the new versions ;-) You can install the current recommended version 4.43 (including a new scheduler policy, see various threads like this at the number crunching area) or the earlier recommended version 4.25 (where most people think the user interface is quite ugly). You can find older versions here. Regards Femue ID: 116084 ·
