XP SP2 and Norton Internet Security 2005

[Vieja Loca]

I finally got Norton Internet Security 2005 to install without error
messages. It appeared to be running beautifully. Then I installed SP2, and
now I can't even get on the internet with NIS enabled. (Kind of defeats the
purpose of installing a firewall, wouldn't you say?) At any rate, I read
through Symantec's Knowledge Base and did everything their article suggested,
short of their last suggestion -- to uninstall Norton and reinstall it.
Jeez, I do not want to go through that again! I'm almost to the point where
if I have to uninstall Norton again, I'll just scrap it and go back to the
freebie that I was using before. If anyone has found a solution to this
problem, I'd love to hear what you did that worked.

Run liveupdate. Twice.
See if that doesn't solve it.
Uninstall, reinstall if that doesn't work. Follow
Symantec's uninstall instructions.

Grrrr . . . . I didn't want to do that. I've already run LiveUpdate many
times. Is there actually a human being out there who is operating
problem-free with both SP2 and Norton Internet Security 2005?
