Hi i recently got a laptop but I have no idea how to connect it to netzero for when I try to connect, a message appears saying error 797. What is a modem and what kind of internet wires are needed?
A modem is a device that allows you to use a voice telephone line to connect your computer to the internet. If you contact NetZero Tech Support, they will send you a CD to run through the setup. The modem connects to the wall with a standard telephone wire. (The ends are known as RJ11)

If you turn your sound up on the computer, do you hear a dial tone? Does it then begin dialing? If not you may have a bad modem. Try dialing the ISP's number with your phone, it should dial in and you should hear various beeps and so on, if not the ISP is down.
Dear r bennett obert,
You can log in to your NetZero email account in three ways:
When you connect to the Internet via your NetZero service, you are automatically logged-in to your email.
If you have DSL, or are using a different ISP to connect to the Internet, you can log in to NetZero email directly by going to http://webmail.netzero.net and entering your Member ID and Password.
If you have DSL or are using a different ISP to connect to the Internet, you can log in to NetZero email indirectly by going to http://my.netzero.net and entering your Member ID and Password.
I forgot my password.

1st step is to call netzero and as per the setup get it configured.
2nd on your comp go to control panel-network connections- delete all the connections listed their- insert the disc provided with router- run the setup and install it- then connect the usb of router and see if it works..
Dial up modems have 2 phone line connections side by side in the back of a desktop, one is for the wall, other is for your telephone. Laptops have just one phone line connector. Look closely at the little symbols by the connection holes. If you don't have one, Modems (internal or externally mounted), are on eBay, buy a 56K with drivers on disk for your operating system. A few modems can be installed using Windows default drivers (drivers are software operating programs that tell your computer how to regulate and operate a device).
why fight it , let it be on com 1 then, go into the bios and disable the serial ports . that may be the easiest fix as long as you don't need the serial port for anything. but if you have a serial mouse oh boy.
