Connect on Start-up - FAQs

Will Connect on Startup work with any Member ID and password in the Connection box?
If you have multiple NetZero accounts connecting to the Internet through the same computer and Connect on Start-up in enabled, the last Member ID that connected to the Internet will be signed on. However the password must be saved in the Welcome Screen or the session will be terminated.

What happens if NetZero starts automatically and I never go online? Will it disconnect?
If NetZero connects you to the Internet and you never manually go online and your computer remains idle for more than 30 minutes, you will be disconnected. However, if you have Instant On! enabled and your computer remains idle, instead of disconnecting it will perform a downloading session then log off when all of the required information has been gathered.

Do I need to change my access numbers?
No. Connect on Startup will use the same access numbers that you normally connect to NetZero with. There is no need to change or add access numbers but you must have your computer connected to your phone line at all times.
