Uninstalled Norton, Windows Vista Updated, Blocked Internet Connection

These were my steps...

I uninstalled Norton. The computer had many uninstalled updates for Vista... so I installed the Vista updates.
Now the Internet is blocked. Everything is connected, router all of that has been reset. I read another thread and I am unsure if I need to follow the same steps because their issue was with XP.

Open CMD, Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults by typing: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults by typing: netsh int ip reset reset.log

Restart your PC.

If it doesn't work, download Winsock XP Fix from here, save it to your Desktop.

Double click on the exe on your Desktop.
Press the "Fix" button, then restart again.

See if you can connect now.
