Working with Firewalls and Referrer Blockers

If you are unable to access the articles in the magazine, there are many possible reasons. Some tools, such as Norton, can create problems. The following instructions should help solve most known issues.

 

Internet Explorer 6/Internet Explorer 7

This can be done from the computer's Control Panel > Internet Options, or from within the browser Tools > Internet Options.

  1. Click Security
  2. Click Trusted Sites then Sites
  3. Add "www.acc.com" in the box provided and click Add
  4. Uncheck the box that requires HTTPS verification
  5. Click the Privacy tab (Medium is an acceptable setting on the slider, but click Sites and again enter "www.acc.com")
  6. Now click Allow
  7. Click Apply

This has only altered settings for the ACC website and does not otherwise affect your browsing.
