* = If applicable


A. Verify that you logged in with a NetZero HiSpeed 3G-enabled account

If you use multiple BlueLight Internet accounts on the same computer, NetZero HiSpeed 3G will only be enabled when logging in with the account with which you paid for the NetZero HiSpeed 3G service. Please check that the Member ID you logged in with is a NetZero HiSpeed 3G-enabled account.

To check to see if your account is NetZero HiSpeed 3G-enabled, please visit https://account.mybluelight.com/s/account

B. Adjust your firewall settings

In order to successfully connect to NetZero HiSpeed 3G, you will need to change the Internet security setting of your firewall program to a setting compatible with any dial-up ISP such as BlueLight Internet, usually Medium.

Occasionally, after the initial installation of the BlueLight Internet software, you may receive a notice that exec, x1exec or ZCast is trying to logon to the Internet. If you see this message, please click Yes to allow the BlueLight Internet software access to the Internet. If you don't allow access, our software will be unable to function properly.

C. Change your firewall settings to allow exec, x1exec and Zcast to access the Internet

When you log on to BlueLight Internet for the first time with a firewall program installed, the program may ask if you want to allow exec, x1exec or Zcast to connect to the Internet. exec.exe, x1exec.exe and Zcast.exe are the internal names of files in the NetZero HiSpeed 3G program, and must be given access privileges in order to work correctly. If you accidentally chose to prevent exec, x1exec or Zcast from accessing the Internet, you will likely get NetZero HiSpeed 3G Unavailable errors when trying to get online.

To fix this, you will need to change your firewall's setting to allow exec, x1exec and Zcast to access the Internet.

Note: If you have multiple firewalls installed on your computer, you will need to allow exec, x1exec.exe, and Zcast.exe to access the Internet on all the firewalls installed.

D. Disconnect from NetZero HiSpeed 3G and reconnect

NetZero HiSpeed 3G may have been disabled due to a temporary communication problem between the NetZero HiSpeed 3G software on your computer and the NetZero HiSpeed 3G servers you dial in to. Disconnecting from the BlueLight Internet service and reconnecting will usually resolve these types of issues.
