5. I think Comcast is having Peak Hour problems......

It seems to happen during the peak hours of use maybe their servers can no longer handle enough traffic.

6. No

but I had problems a couple days ago, and last week.

[Nabia2004]

I just switched to Comcast a week ago and now regret it.

See post above

[lancdem]

12. I saw your post on that

but can't figure out where to find that on my computer. Is it under control panel?

15. Here ya go

To change DNS servers:

* Right click on the My Network Places icon on the desktop and select Properties. (If the icon is not available, go to Start menu | My Computer | My Network Places | View Network Connections.)

* Locate the network connection that is associated with your Internet connection. This may be labeled something like "Local Area Connection." If you have more than one connection to choose from, be sure you determine the right one before proceeding.

* Right click on the appropriate connection and select Properties.

* In the list that appears under the General tab, double click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

* In the window that appears, you want to select the option to Use the following DNS server addresses: 4.2.2.2 and alternate 4.2.2.1


* Press Ok out of all windows until you are back to the Network Connections window. You can now open your web browser and browse to a website to see if it connects faster.

[unhappycamper]

18. 4.2.2.2 is a quick fix but if everyone uses it...

it will crash or level3 will stop making it publicly available.

my computer any more than I have--trying to fix other things.
