1.         Start and Login to AOL or SBC Globalnet (SBC) as you normally do.

2.         Once AOL or SBC is up and running, minimize the AOL or SBC interface.

Please don't close out, just minimize it. Do this by clicking on the little slash at the upper right hand corner of the screen.

3. Open up another myCommNet supported browser and use it to access myCommNet. 

To view the list of myCommNet supported browsers go to: https://my.commnet.edu/site/faq.html#browser

In most cases Internet Explorer is already installed on your machine so go ahead and use it.
If you don't have Internet Explorer and/or Internet Explorer is also giving you problems,
you will need to download and install another browser.
We recommend Mozilla, since this will get you up and running in the least amount of time.

Click here to install and set up this browser.

You will need to turn off the Pop-Up Blocker in Mozilla

First in the Menu Bar click on where it says Tools

Then click on where it says Options

Now Click on where it says Content

Uncheck block pop up windows

This should solve all the known problems with AOL, SBC Globalnet and myCommNet/WEBCT.
