The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Are you running a firewall? Try disabling any firewall/blocking software and then connecting.

    Yes, I have had many (too many) problems with Norton (especially Int. Sec. 05 HATE IT). As soon as my subscription runs out in October I am dumping it and using avast!.
