Tell me the make, model and operating system you are using. Do you have the original operating system on a DVD? Do you have everything backed up on a separate external hard drive, DVD or memory stick?
A modem takes the comcast signal and converts it into a signal your computer understands. A router allows you to connect other computers on your network to the modem. Comcast sometimes provides both of these units built into one.
Invite someone to your house to log onto your network with their laptop just to be certain the network is OK.
