internet connection with comcast

[tonita]

Maybe someone on this group can help me. I had been using att/
sbcyahoo wireless on my dell laptop running windows xp. My husband is
using comcast and I want to now connect with comcast. I get the
signal ok but I cannot connect to the internet. I'm not all that tech
savvy so I'm having a bit of trouble. I tried to do the "repair"
thing but it says something about windows not managing the connection
and something else about an isp address. Can anyone help me with
this?

Thanks.

Also go into the properties of the wireless connection, find the tcp/ip,
and highlight it and click the properties button. See if both "obtain
... automatically" boxes are checked. If not then write down what
you have just so you can reset and set them to auto.
Then do the release/renew as JS said above.
