I have just recently built a Win XP machine for a customer who has comcast cable internet. They have a Mac setup and have no issues. I installed a router and right then it gave me issues. Neither computer could connect with the router. I switched it back to direct connection with the modem. The Mac connected fine. The WinXP system would not connect. I checked the LAN and it would not acquire an IP address. I did an ipconfig /release/renew and it hung on renew. Then gave me an error. The LAN indicator on the task bar said limited or no connectivity.

I then took the PC back to my own how where I also have comcast broadband. The PC connected fine.

Back once again to the customers house and once again, limited or no connectivity.

Called comcast, they told me that I should either pay for a second service so the new pc can have its own IP or buy a wireless router because it seems to be the NIC. It cant be the NIC can it? It works at my house...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

First, check if the cable that you are using is fine or not. Try checking it by connecting your player to another computer via the same USB cable. If it works on the other computer, try deleting the USB drivers from the device manager. Restart the computer. Your computer should work fine.

Cable TV Through Cable Modem

For those of you who do not know it is not only possible to recieve free cable tv thru your modem but there are thousands of people doing it. For a cost of about ten bucks you can go online and check out cable tv filters. It is a small filter that will connect to the back of your tv tuner in slot, then attach your coax cable from your modem and you will have all the cable channels from your cable company free. These filters have been in use since the late 70s and there is no way for your cable company to detect them. So have fun watching free tv.

Hello Tod,

There is 1-Lane Flatwire Ultra Flat Cable, 10 Feet Long, it can be used for TV satelite purpose.

Use with Flatwire Subwoofer Connector Pack or Coaxial Equivalent Connector Package.

This has with over six times the surface area of equivalent round cables, the "skin-effect" performance is unmatched at high frequencies.

Good Luck...

It seems like at least 3 nights a week, right at 12:00 midnight, or very close to it my 5 meg drops to about 1 meg or less. WTF is up with that? I work late and play even later, so it really pisses me off that I can't game when I have downtime. God please let Verizon Fios be availiable here soon!!

Does anyone know if this will have an impact on VOIP / Slingbox subscribers. I know the folks at Comcast would like nothing more than to get there hands on the dollars lost to vonage/skype/magicjack and slingboxers. Perhaps this is the first of things to come.

Any thoughts.

Hey Tod,

I was facing the same problem. But now i am free with that problem.

I was trying to extend my cable with my dinning room T.V. I bought HDMI to DVI Cable 5m for HD Video.

This cable provides high quality cable for transferring with 10 year warranty against manufacturing defects.

The price is also reasonable �11.99

With Regards,
Mitchall
