:nod: Call them and have them provision the modem. I run on Comcast myself, and have setup a lot of them...I've never installed their software (nor any ISPs software for that matter on other connections like DSL)

How do you have them provision the modem? Call their support..and ask them to....telling them you're stuck on their intranet registration site. They will ask you to read them the MAC address of the modem...give them like 5 minutes to find it and upload the config file...power cycle the modem...power cycle the router once the modem synchs..release/renew your computer to pickup the new DNS servers, and you should now have a fully public IP address with different DNS servers..and surf away.

Commi-cast

Post by bonoba »

Oh, you mean comcast? More like commi-cast. They intentionally block IP's from doing certain things for brief periods of time. (LIKE gambling online from downloaded software, downloading from LimeWire, P2P connections, etc.. )They call it Net Neutrality, and say that they have every right to limit connections. Well, if you check out this NY Times article http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/1 ... advocates/, Comcast states it is doing nothing wrong.... I think not.. I think that if you pay for service, you should get what you pay for and nothing less. It seems they have the market on the "telecommunications" front, so what can you do? They are a monopoly and I think that the DOJ should do something about it.. I too, have had the same problems that you have with having to reset my router, not once or twice a day, but 4 or 5 times a day because all of a sudden the service just stopped working. I downloaded an International backdoor entry program that gives me a different IP address so that I can do all of my P2P, gambling, etc.. UNINTERRUPTED.. So, thanks Comcast.. If I were the one specifically paying for your service, I would spend my money elsewhere.. even a pay by the hour service is better than yours.
