Joe, I ran into this problem a while back. When @Home folded and Comcast switched me over to their own network, my cable modem connection via ABS suddenly stopped working. Drove me nuts bouncing back and forth between Comcast and Apple support for about a week. Then I happened to find out that it's because Comcast changed their networking protocol somehow. The recommended solution was to get a hub or router to put between the cable modem and the ABS, which I did. This resolved the problem. Some months later, Apple corrected the problem with onr of their Airport updates (sorry, don't remember which). I've subsequently ditched the router. My recommendation is, unless you absolutely need the hub, download the ABS updates and try it out. You may gain other benefits as well. -pha -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
