[Talk] Comcast issues?

[Adam Glass]

Dumb question, but could they have changed DNS servers without your
system knowing it?  Maybe you are pointing at an old server with
outdated info.  Just a guess ... I think you meant to say you can NOT
get outside Comcast, but it's unclear.

One thing is for sure:  if all Comcast customers were having this
problem, it would have been in the local news after a day or two.
