Don,
Our home network is a PC (mine - desktop and laptop) and MAC (wife's -
desktop and laptop). Yesterday morning, my wife could not access the Internet
with either computer. No problems at all with my desktop. Later in the day, she
was able to access the Internet with both computers. Weird.
The Comcast black box is a broadband combination modem/router. Once the
tech accessed the web site, there was a page/link that said something about
port forwarding.
With this information, can you determine if he was accessing the modem
or the router?
Thanks,
HB
