belowzero273, did you use the Norton Remove and Reinstall Tool ? This will give you a clean reinstall of your Norton product, if you are running the latest version. Failing that, there is a workaround which may help
The problem actually is with a setting with internet sharing, which makes Metro style internet explorer act in a very restrictive manner. All you have to do is turn off sharing. Following are the steps to do this:
1) Go to the charms menu. 2) click on the settings option. 3) Click on the "Internet access" option. 4) Right click on the active connection. 5) Click on "Turn sharing on or off". 6) Click on "No, don't turn on sharing or connect to devices".
That's all. Your apps will be able to connect to internet now.
