My saga with Comcast continues. This morning, I have no DNS service. The cable modem had all the right lights on, but I couldn't get DNS lookup. Rebooting the modem didn't help, so I figured I'd go the all out - unplug the modem, unplug the router, and then replug. Well. That resulted in a cable modem that just wouldn't synch with the network at all. Sigh. This is what I should expect in the absence of local competition, I guess - Comcast doesn't have to care...
Figures - it all came back to life nearly the nano-second that I saved this post as a draft.
