    Two computer network connected through Comcast cable box


    Our two computers just received a Microsoft update and since the update I cannot connect my two computers through our cable network box. This has worked for the whole year until just now. My computers cannot recognize the other computer that is connected anymore but both computers are able to connect to the cable internet service to get online. I don't see why the cable box would change so why did the Microsoft update take away my connection?

    :)

    Comcast HD cable box alternative?

    There are no alternatives but to rent there box.
    Ive never heard of them giving out cable cards or letting you rent them either, AFAIK no one at comcast knows what a cable card is even tho they are clearly visible inside there boxes.

    1. Open Admin command and type: ipconfig

    2. Win+X->Control Panel->Netwok and Sharing Center
      Follow the screen shot. This should disable internet access from this PC but allows access to local device(s)
      NOTE: Use the IP & Subnet Mask from step 1. Leave Default gateway & DNS Server blank

    Two computer network connected through Comcast cable box

    Comcast HD cable box alternative?

    Short and sweet, more detail provided as needed:

    Is there any alternative to using the Comcast-issued HD cable box?

    One reason I'm interested is so that I don't have to pay the $10 a month extra (maybe), but moreover because I've found using the coaxial from the digital adapter gives me an awful picture on my TV.

    It's a Samsung UN26EH4000. When it's connected to the coaxial, I get a lot of ghosting and something else I don't know the technical term for; it's especially noticeable on words, such as on the channel pop-up, where a letter may have a trail of itself 5 times over, with each becoming progressively fainter.

    When connected to component, these issues largely disappear.

    So anyway, any details on this stuff and an HD cable box alternative are greatly appreciated (not as short and sweet as I thought)!
