How do I enable or disable cookies?

A cookie is a text file that a Web server has requested your computer to save. Web servers use them to customize the pages you see.

Internet Explorer

  • From the menus at the top of the window, select Tools.
  • From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.
  • Click on the Security tab.
  • Click on the Custom level button.

You will see a long list; just scroll down the list until you see “cookies.” Each option has a radio button next to it; just select the one you want.

How do I power cycle my modem and computer?

Power cycling your computer and modem is the easiest way to solve connection problems to the Internet quickly and without a call to technical support.

To power cycle, perform the following:

  • Turn off your modem (for at least 30 seconds)
  • Turn on your modem
  • Reboot your computer
  • Allow the lights on your modem to stop flashing and turn solid (takes 30-60 seconds)

Ensure that all lights are solid green, then attempt to browse or check your email.
