Thanks Mr. Cohen....Oh, My router shows the IP Address I
talked about....not sure I quite understand whats up
here. Do I need to buy my own modem instead of using
Comcasts ??? You could probably ping that ip address. If
you could clarify it would be great as I would like to
get this to work...as it should...Thanks..oh by the way,
I love your email address!!! Have a good one!!!
