Need Help. Activation Not Complete ... No response received from symantec server.

I just bought myself a CD of Norton Internet Security 2009 this year to go with my new rig. That said there's no previous Antivirus nor firewall save for the ones Windows Vista has that preceded it. Thing is I cant get it to activate! The program kept asking me to check if the internet is working. Ironically I can surf and use the live update for the definitions just fine. Any suggestions?...

 

OS: Windows Vista Home.

History: Well... I did uninstall it then reinstalled it to see if its just a fluke.. still can't activate it though.
