Security Settings Help
You may be familiar with this message:
Oops you have been directed to this page from the wrong place! If you KEEP getting this error, chances are you have some security settings enabled that are not letting you play Neopets correctly.
This is usually caused by your computer having a Firewall or your security settings not being configured to work with the Neopets.com website. Not to worry, though! The below information should be able to help. Please read the following carefully and try each of the suggested tips. If all goes well, you should be surfing around Neopia in no time!
Firewall
Is it possible that you have a firewall such as Norton Internet Securities set up in your home or office? The firewall will block your computer from being able to access Neopets properly. You can try turning off the firewall temporarily for the duration of time you are using the Neopets website. Please check with your parents or administrators beforehand for permission.
If you have Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall 2004, you can change these settings in order to fix the problem.
1. Start Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall.
2. Click Ad Blocking, then click the yellow Configure button. The Ad Blocking window appears.
3. Click Advanced. The Advanced Web Contents Options dialog box appears.
4. Click Add Site. The New Site/Domain dialog box appears.
5. Type neopets.com and then click OK.
6. In the list of Web sites, locate neopets.com and click to highlight it.
7. Click the Global Settings tab.
8. In the "Information about your browser" section, uncheck "Use default settings," and then click "Permit."
9. In the "Information about visited sites" section, uncheck "Use default settings," and then click "Permit."
10. Click OK to close the Advanced Web Contents Options dialog box.
11. Click OK to close the Ad Blocking window.
