Is this like Verizon tech's telling you that they don't block port 80
religiously, yet you can run a web server on other non-standard ports?  I
take much of what the tech support says with a grain of salt, esp. if its
tier 1.  I try to get on the phone and go directly to 2 or 3, that is if
they can transfer the call.

I saw someone's suggestion about trying another dhcp client.  I know when
I was in school I could not get an IP using pump, no matter how hard I
tried.  I have no experience with comcast though and am not sure about
the registration process that may precede it.
