Re: [Connectivity] Odd screen popped up when trying to surf inte said by devicemanage:Some sites are still unavailable like google and trendmls - does anyone know why? Trend especially, even entering the ip address still takes me back to the comcast agreement? That can't be a dns issue. I too have made a number of changes to dns to get around this, even danced with a lamp shade on my head. Still nothing. I'm having the same issues with some sites in PA not far from you.

Umm.. they don't own comcastsupport.com. Look at the DNS servers for the site. They are NOT comcast servers. Domain Whois information is VERY easy to fake. So yes, they have the correct address, but not the DNS servers. Take a look at comcast.com/net.. neither of them use inflow.net as their glue records. So yea.. this is fake.. Very interesting. Glad I run my own DNS server. |

| You think it's out of the realm of possibility that a Comcast support sight is hosted by Inflow? They are a pretty big name.
$ host www.comcastsupport.com
www.comcastsupport.com has address 66.179.151.44

(ie. not correct provisioning, or none at all due to various system issues) |

Glad I run my own DNS server. If you go to »www.comcastsupport.com and look at the security certificate, you will see it is signed by RSA. I realize RSA is not the worlds most brilliant company, but I think they might have caught this one. I highly doubt a phishing attempt or other form of hijack.

The messages people were getting is when Comcast sends you to the "walled garden" where you can not get anywhere except for provisioning. But if you are going thru a router, the connection to the provisioning page doesn't work right. Hence calling Comcast to get running again. They re-provision you. You reboot everything and it is working again.
Sounds like just what you said. Someone screwed up and wiped out some account info and that resulted in losing connectivity to the rest of the internet.

So if I was going directly through my modem and not the router, I may have seen a provision page?
I wonder if Comcast will fess up to this and put something up on their page?
Also a friend of mine is up in Federal Way with the same Motorola 5100 modem as I, and also using the same stock dns #s, and the problem never hit him at all yesterday.
I go through the same hub as he does too.
