Norton Internet Security (NIS) can cause problems when viewing certain areas of iATN. This page will show you how to configure it to allow you to browse iATN unhindered. Please review our Privacy Policy if you are concerned about these changes.

These configuration changes cover the 2003 version of NIS, as well as Norton Personal Firewall. If the options in your version differ significantly from the versions available here, please let us know iATN Support.

Please go through all of these steps just to be thorough.

1. Open Norton Internet Security, and double click "Privacy Control."
   
   
   
   
2. A new window should appear. Make sure the "Turn on Privacy Control" box is checked and that the slider is in the middle. Press "OK."
   
   
   
   
3. Select "Options," and then select "Internet Security" or "Personal Firewall" from the drop-down box.
   
   
   
   
4. Select the "Web Content" tab and press the "Add Site" button.
   
   
   
   
5. A new window should appear. Type "iatn.net" in the text box, and press "OK".
   
   
   
   
6. Scroll down the left column to "iatn.net" and select it. Under the category of "Information about visited sites," uncheck the "Use default settings" box, and select "Permit." This allows certain iATN pages to see that you reached them through another iATN page. Press "OK." 
   
   
   
   
7. Keeping "iatn.net" selected in the left column, select the "Ad Blocking" tab and press the "Add" button.
   
   
   
   
8. A new window should appear. Select the "Permit" dot and type "/banners/" in the text box. Press "OK."
   
   
   
   
9. Press the "Add" button to bring up the text box again. Select the "Permit" dot and type "/sponsors/" in the text box. Press "OK."
   
   
   
   
10. Select the user settings tab and confirm that the settings match those below. Cookies are required to access the members-only section. Java applets are required for the lambda calculator, chat, and upcoming features. Pop-up windows are required for responding to Techmail, and are not used for any type of advertising on iATN.
    
    
    
    
11. Press "OK" buttons until you have reached the main NIS menu. Press the "x" at the top right of the window to drop NIS back to the tray on the bottom right of your screen. (NIS should remain running in the background.)
