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 2004 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.
