Definitely a good idea to disable networking components that you don't use.
However, I have that option checked in mine, I guess it must be a default
setting. This is a very odd problem, I really thought that last thing could
have solved it. Next step, maybe try completely uninstalling Norton as a
test? Did you try surfing with the new system before Norton was installed,
or did it come preinstalled? I would start to peel back the layers of the
onion...remove anything that could be affecting the IP stack. Reboot prior
to surfing again. Also, if this doesn't identify the problem, I would
probably suggest posting this on some of the Microsoft Windows newsgroups,
if you haven't already done so. I am usually pretty good with homegrown
problem solving, but there are probably some trained/certified Windows types
that troll those groups.
