Cable Modem Won't Run In XP

[Steve Horrillo]

I have an old 1999 PC that was running Win ME. I reformatted it to XP Pro.
It works fine on my DSL modem. Just plugged in the LAN plug and was browsing
the Internet. But when I tried using Comcast cable it won't work. Under
Network Connections I tried to set up a local area connection but it allows
me to go through the steps but doesn't show the connection. What do I do?

Call up Comcast.

So let me get this straight......After setting up DSL, you removed the
modem and attached a "cable" modem?
Did you try renewing/releasing "all" adapters?? You may possibly have an
IP conflict..........

Go to start/programs/accessiories/Command Prompt

Type in ipconfig \help (this will show you the command lines, skip a
space after you type ipconfig)

ipconfig \renew is what may help............or ipconfig/registerdns
