On my brothers computer he gets local access only or limited connectivity. It has been connecting off and on for a few weeks now. I have tried various solutions but I just can't seem to figure it out. The problem started when i removed Norton from his system. I have since run the Norton removal tool, but no luck. I also tried Windows Fixit, but was also unsuccessful. Three other computers in the house are able to connect both wirelessly and directly with a network cable. Below is the windows IP config for the computer. The O/S is Vista. Ok when I turned on his machine to get the IP config info ... it connected to the internet, but only for a few minutes I have no idea what is going on. Please help.
