For more information about Kid Innovation, Inc. or the Razzul product view the Kid Innovation website.

 

SYMPTOMS

When a child account is selected from the Windows Welcome Screen, a window appears explaining there is no Internet connection.  If you are using a modem, your modem is not activated and a connection to the Internet is not made.

 

CAUSE

By default, Windows does not automatically use the modem to establish a connection to the Internet.

 

RESOLUTION

Below are the steps required to configure a child account to auto dial the Internet:

 

1)      Log in to your Parent Account.

2)      Run Internet Explorer and go to the following website: http://www.razzul.com/manage

3)      Log in using your parent e-mail and password used when registering

4)      Once you are logged into the Razzul Admin Site go to the Account Maintenance section

10)  You will be returned to the Windows Welcome Screen, select your child’s icon

13)  Once Internet Explorer starts, choose the ‘Tools’ menu

14)  Select ‘Internet Options’ from the menu
