Can't log into CarrierNet with IE8, IE9, IE10 or IE11

Can't log into CarrierNet with IE8, IE9, IE10 or IE11

If you are using IE8, IE9, IE10, or IE11 and attempt to log in CarrierNet, but receive a message that your browser is incompatible, this is most likely because your browser is set in Compatibility mode.  This mode tells your browser to treat web sites as if it was using IE7.  Since CarrierNet requires IE8 or better for authoring, you receive the incompatibility message.  Fortunately this is very easy to resolve.

Internet Explorer 8

  • In IE8, access the Tools menu
  • Make sure Compatibility View is turned off
  • Once off, access CarrierNet again and attempt to log in

Internet Explorer 9

  • In IE9, access the menu via the Gear icon and select F12 Developer Tools or press F12 on your keyboard
  • In the bottom window of your web browser a new row will appear starting with "File"
  • Click on Browser Mode and change it to IE9
  • Click on Document Mode and change it to IE9 standards
  • Once changed, access CarrierNet again and attempt to log in. You may close the developer Tools bar
Internet Explorer 10
  • In IE10, access the menu by pressing the ALT key to bring up the top menu and the go to Tools > Developer Tools, or press F12 on your keyboard
  • In the bottom window of your web browser a new row will appear starting with "File"
  • Click on Browser Mode and change it to IE10 (NOT the IE 10 Compatibility View)
  • Click on Document Mode and change it to IE10 standards
  • Once changed, access CarrierNet again and attempt to log in. You may close the developer Tools bar
