Lost Internet Connectivity After Norton Uninstall
I uninstalled and reinstalled Norton Antivirus 2005 (disk). Now I have no internet connection.
I have cable internet with a Linksys router which works fine with the other two computers in the household. The computer's OS is XP Media Center Edition. Under network connections it now says, "Local Area Connection, Network Cable Unplugged" The ethernet connection to the router is not unplugged.
I tried system restore to the previous day and it says that nothing has been changed since then. I uninstalled Norton Antivirus 2005 again using Norton 360 and installed the Norton 360 software. No luck.
I've disabled firewalls. No luck.
I reinstalled the network adaptor drivers (Intel Pro/100 VE Network Connection and Intel ProSet Application). No luck.
I suspect that Norton changed my registry. I don't trust myself making registry changes with no guidance.
Thanks in advance for any help.
