    Lost Network connection


    Hi, can anyone please help me with a very frustrating problem i am experiencing at the moment. After allowing Norton a remote connection i can no longer see any network connections, wireless or wired. This of course means no internet connection. I tried system restore but get error message and wont allow me to restore to any date.

    hi tommy and welcome,
    can you take snapshot on your connection? and did you already try SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Hi,

    could be a firewall from Norton blocking it all?
