Hi Geoff, I wish I could turn DHCP off on the Comcast modem, but that is not possible. Apparently you have to have a static IP to do this and then they (Comcast) have to do it. I had talked to them today about this (Comcast that is) and they explained things somewhat, but how it was explained was yet pretty muddy. It all came down to the fact that I have to pay money and ps, we're damn near out of IPs, so don't be asking for much. :( SO for now it is what it is. :)
