Try to plug it on another Ethernet port of your router. Check your RJ-45 connectors on both ends of the cable, it might be loose. Or, if you have an extra UTP cable, try changing it. I assumed, both your Desktop and laptop are connected on the same gateway/router. If your laptop has no problem at all connecting to the internet, the problem lies between the desktop and your gateway/router. It is also, better, if you tell us what comcast had suggested on you, so we can come up with (maybe) some other solutions, besides the one they suggested.

Type in: "ipconfig /release". After it is done releasing. Type in: "ipconfig /renew". This should renew your connection with your gateway. I'd like to see some more information. Please follow the steps below. Go to Start -> Run. In the Box, type in "cmd". A black box will appear. Type in: "ipconfig /all". A lot of information will appear, Please right click the black window and hit mark. Select every line of text you recieved and hit "enter" to copy. Then paste it into your next reply.

After you refreshed / renewed did you still experience these problems? Regards, Olrik -------------------- Please do not PM me asking for support.
