Can someone here is an expert on this? Please help.

Check to see if your DHCP service is running. If not, try to start the service. If it is a dependency failure, read this article.

It is a known issue.

I had the exact same problem. Incredibly frustrating. I'll never use Norton products again. But to their credit, Norton did create a special uninstaller for this reason (I suppose).

Step 1: Install Norton 2003 to get your Internet working again.

Step 2: Uninstall with this:

ftp://ftp.symantec.com/misc/consumer/Rnav2003.exe

When you're done, I suggest getting the free version of AVG antivirus.
