I read this Post and I think it might solve my problem -but- could you put in laymans terms? I would truely appreciate it. It is either that or go out and by a new one.

POST: I had comcast and netgear before
I believe they are using fixed IP. But if you setup your PC with DHCP, you should be able to get the IP automatically. The thing is, you have to use the same MAC number to get the connection. The one comcast registered when you first got connect to comcast.
If you don’t have the same PC, you have to call comcast to change your registered MAC number to the PC’s MAC that you are currently try to connect to comcast.
Once you get connected with one PC, write down the MAC number of the NIC of this PC, also write down the IP address, DNS servers, set netgear router to use this MAC to connect (otherwise camcast will not accept the connection). And according to my experience, you better use fixed DNS IPs in netgear setup. I had problem before without using fixed IPs as the DNSs
