MioNet Web Setup Questions

What browsers are supported?

Why is it installing a Sun Java Virtual Machine (JVM)?

MioNet Web uses the Sun JVM as a helper application so your browser can access MioNet. The Sun JVM is very secure and is standard on most computer systems. It may take 5 to 10 minutes for the Sun JVM to install depending on your network speed.

Why can't MioNet connect?

If MioNet is not able to connect, review the following suggestions:

1. Please check to make sure that you are using a supported PC and supported browser (see above).
2. In addition, MioNet uses the Sun Java Virtual Machine (JVM) within your browser. Some corporate environments or "locked down" computers disable the ability to install the JVM within the browser. If this is the case, you will not be able to connect.
3. Lastly, in some instances corporate firewalls are very restrictive and severely limit the communications with outside web services like MioNet.
4. Please contact the support organization from wherever you received the product or by using the link on the top left.
