no connectivityI have a comcast modem and use a netgear router for a wireless connection to
my second PC. Everything was fine (I did have problems with my wireless adaptor connecting on my second PC but that's for another day). I downloaded McAfee security from comcast and soon after I lost my connectivity for my main PC. I called comcast and they said my PC was not communicating with my modem (could not pick up the IP address) the only thing I could think to do was uninstall McAfee since that's when the problem seemed to start, still no connection even when I dropped the netgear router and connected comcast modem to my PC. I ended up reinstalling windows XP and now I can get a connection when I directly connect comcast modem but when I try to connect the netgear router I get the same problem I had before. No connectivity, no ip address. Jeri wrote:
