Hi Bargar,
Well Network cards are cheap enough these days, so I grab a new one and try
it out. Just be sure to uninstall the old one first and if it's built in be
sure and disable it through the BIOS and or Device Manager. If this don't
solve your problem then I'd request Comcast to send me a new Modem.With all
the storms we have had across the states here lately damage could have been
done without your knowing it.

All the best,
