From a command prompt ping 127.0.0.1 If it is successful then TCP/IP is correctly configured on your machine.

why do you think it is a problem with tcpip? what is the symptom (server not found i bet) check your dns settings. you'll have to find out from comcast what to use. they are part of your tcpip settings. make sure you are having trouble with all websites not just one...do you have zonealarm or norton internet security or some such installed? or uninstalled? you don't give us enuf to go one (os version, what you've tried etc, if this ever worked, is it new, etc). so you might want to try looking up your symptoms yourself ('server not found'). you may be able to see your problem in the microsoft knowledgebase at support.microsoft.com. when i have this problem it is almost always the dns settings or gateway settings if a network...i have also seen uninstalling zonealarm cause this. reinstalling it is the cure..

I think what you may be refering to is, your IP address may be wrong or not setup? You should call comcast and get your IP address and gateway address. The IP address is probably using DHCP. If you have an installation disk from Comcast that may solve your problems. Your best bet is to call tech support at Comcast.
