i have a slight problem here. basically my wife got a nasty virus and i bought norton to remove it. norton got rid of it just fine. so i went to setup a new hard drive for her as hers was too small and running out of room anyway. got through the windows XP pro install and got the IE working along with all the mother board periferalls. thought that i should install Norton antivirus for protection. well it wouldn't update. it gave me three options to fix it the last of which was something about resetting the dns servers. well none of the previous fixes did anything so i tried the last one and now i can't connect to the internet. this computer connects through a router which another computer is connected to. that computer has no problems getting on the internet. after doing the diagnostic it tells me i have no DNS servers. i'm really at a loss as to where to go with this and how to fix it. norton support people have been no help.

Jump to PostNorton is rubbish, get rid of that crapware. Install Avast antivirus from here - http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html, it's free and far far superior to Norton.
For your connection problem, go into your internet settings …
