    Hey guys!

    I downloaded a FIX for Norton Antivirus, and now my internet doesn't work!

    When I press "Repair Connection" it says "Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed - Renewing IP Address"

    Also, even though it's set to "Obtain IP address automatically" it says "Invalid IP Address" in the Support tab of the Network Status.

    DSL connection
    Windows XP PRO
    Router: DLINK DSS-5
    Ethernet Card: Realtek RTL8139/810x (onboard)
    Had Norton installed, but the trial period expired; then I kept getting this error saying virus protection is turned off. Then I downloaded a fix to stop that and my internet screwed up!

    The error I kept getting was this:

    PLEASE HELP!

    Thanks.

    Uninstall norton, it causes more problem than it fixes. One you clean that up, you may be able to get your damage corrected. Then go to Grisoft.com and download AVG, its much better in mind mind and does less damage. I am not a fan of Norton, any symantec product I have tried or others has caused more problems than they are worth.

    Thats not an acceptable fix as far as I'm concerned.

    Whether you like Norton or not is irrelevant.

    HOWEVER, if you are trying to crack a trial, then do the right thing and remove it.

    As for the error, I'm not going to sign up to another forum just to see it, so can you tell us what is says here, or attach it?

    Also, go to a cmd prompt and type ipconfig /renew.

    What is the error from there?

    That fix wasn't to crack a trial. It was a problem Norton apparently had which kept causing an error saying "Virus Protection is turned off" and the fix was supposed to stop that. I turned off Norton as soon as it expired as I decided to stay with AVG or something free. But after it stopped the problem, my internet went too!

    Thanks for your suggestions; I'll try them and update you!

    Sorry about the error; it should work now:

    Oh, ok, so it was just a manual removal you performed?

    Seems straightfoward enough.

    Let me know what you find out with the ipconfig /renew results.

    Ipconfig /renew gives me this:

    "The operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation"

    This is strange :eek: !

    Thanks!

    How many network cards do you have?

    Check Device manager and under network adapters, what do you have listed?

    Try reinstalling the nic, reboot and go through the same steps as before.
