On all other Windows platforms, you can verify that Dial Rocket Service has been established by selecting Dial Rocket Status from the pop-up menu.

Browse the web as you normally would. When finished, simply close your browser and Dial Rocket will remain idle in your system tray.

When trying to connect to Dial Rocket Service, I get the error message, "Dial Rocket cannot connect to the Dial Rocket Service..."
Here is a step-by-step list of things you should verify:

1. Check that you have successfully connected to your ISP in your usual manner (e.g. Did your dial-up connection successfully connect to your ISP?) This step is independent of whether or not you launch Dial Rocket.
2. Ensure that the ISP that you are connected to is, in fact, the one that supplied you with the Dial Rocket software and connection information. In most cases, you cannot connect to another ISP and use the same Dial Rocket connection settings.
3. Verify that the Connection information located in the Settings dialog is the same as that provided to you by your ISP.
4. If you are running firewall software, make sure that a firewall rule is present that allows access to the Remote Server Port (located in the Settings dialog)
5. try uninstalling Dial Rocket (ControlPanel-->Add/Remove Programs and select Dial Rocket) and then re-install it.
6. Contact Customer Service (780-679-3286) to verify that the Dial Rocket Service is up and running.
