AOL 9.0 dialup won't connect - NO firewall but AOL says so

AOL gives an error message that a firewall is preventing a dialup connection.



The user HAS Norton IS but it is turned off (they can't connect to update their 


subscription), the service was manually stopped.



Why is AOL giving this error message when no firewall is present (user is on XP SP1 that 


has no firewall in Control Panel)?
