Jim, do you have Comcast High Speed Internet? If so, I'd like your
thoughts.
I've heard tales from two people. I'm not completely ignorant about
networks, having expanded, installed in offices a couple of times, do
my own IT work, etc. Well, I've been told that it's difficult to
connect a wireless router to Comcast. Another told me he connected a
wireless router, and it worked without changing any tcp/ip settings.
Comcast, of course, wants to install there own home network, at a cost.
I don't want them screwing with anything after their modem. I want to
do it, then I can maintain it. Anyway, if you, or any others here read
this, and have connected a wireless, or wired router to comcast modem,
tell me your experiences. Comcast will give you no advice, seeing how
it isn't their network.

I've got Comcast HSI at home with 2 PC's hardwired and 2 served by a
wireless router. No problem to set up- worked pretty much right out of
the box. Every once in a while one of the PC's has a problem
communicating with it but it's always the same one and I think it's an
interference issue with its' particular location. A reboot on both ends
usually fixes it.

Cool, thanks.
