Cindy, I use AOL and Verizon DSL. What type of problems are you having? I have no difficulty without using any special router or other equipment. I have AOL 9 Security Edition installed on a Gateway 500 mhz, with Win XP Pro sp2. I use the DSL modem Verizon gave me and a Belkin 5 port switch. I also have no problems when the Gateway is directly connected to the DSL modem. What firewall do you have installed. There are several programs from AOL that show up in my Zonealarm Pro that need to be checked to allow use on the Internet. Try checking your firewall.
