Yes, I have also provisioned myself using that method. I think I have
setup an attbi/Comcast connection roughly 10 times, each time doing
something slightly different.

No you do not need the Windows CD, but you do need to be provisioned.
They have a web site that you can go to to provision yourself, but that
is different for each area. First, try to see if you can access your
cable modem at 192.168.100.1.
Then try this address:
https://sas.ne1.attbb.net/sas/pub/logon/mainauth.jsp?ORIGURL=/sa/prot/ad
min/euser/activate.jsp

While Comcast no longer registers your PC's MAC address, they need to
register the Cable Modem MAC address.  A quick call to Comcast should
take care of this.
