This journal entry is of no interest to anyone and is going here solely for the benefit of anyone searching for a solution to the problem I have been experiencing. Norton Antivirus basically takes over your computer when you install it, and after uninstalling it leaves networking in an unusable state. To fix the problem you must do the following:
- Go to Start –> Run –> Type in “regedit”.
- When the regedit program opens browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE –> SYSTEM –> CurrentControlSet –> Services –> Dhcp.
- Double click on “DependOnService”. There will be an entry in the list that reads “SYMTDI”. Delete it and click on OK.
- Reboot
This bug plagued me last October while I was trying to upload journal entries from the Alaska trip, and apparently Symmantec still hasn’t fixed it. As a software developer I find that highly annoying. Solution is courtesy of this site.
