Uninstalled Norton, now i only have local network access, not internet

[TimonUK]

Hello everyone, i hope you can help. Yesterday i purchased a Sony XL-301 and as with all new PC's i buy i remove norton internet security in order to put on my own. However when i do this, My Network connection icon in the bottom right hand corner says that i have "local access only" not the usual "Local and Internet access".

So i disconnect from the network and reconnect and all is well, but i ain't doing that everytime i turn my PC on!!! lol

Plz help... your my only hope (Norton Customer Support in India say it is nothing to do with them!)

Well i've solved the problem, pretty sure it was a DHCP issue with the BT Home Hub router but i've switched ISP now am now with SKY and they have given me a netgear router and i have absolutley no problem whatsoever!

One thing i did notice was when i connected to the netgear router i was asked by Vista what connection i wanted. I had a choice between Home, Work, or Public. I never had this with the BT Home Hub router.

I am a geek but i have no idea why i was asked connecting to the Netgear router and not the BT Home hub router, i'll leave that question for the boffins! For now, i'm just glad my internets sorted!

Thanks to everyone who has helped with this issue. :smileygrin:
