Hello,

I am trying to switch from Verizon DSL to Comcast Cable modem and the Verizon IP address is conflicting with Comcast. I have been told by Comcast that they will not be able to set up a home network using an Ethernet connection until I am able to get rid of the Verizon ID adress. Verizon is of no help since I discontinued their services. How do I remove the IP address?
Thanks in advance.

PS: My OS is Vista.

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0
Vista

I have comcast myself and they assign DHCP address' so if you had a static address with Verizon you need to goto your internet options and select automaticly assign so your computer won't kep trying to connect to the static IP address. If that doesn't work remove all your network connections then add one back Via the network setup wizzard and select automaticly configure that way and you might need to reset your modem just unplug it for like 20-30 seconds if it has a battery backup then you need to push the little reset button on the bac in is recessed inside a little hole below the Ethernet plug. That should do it.

Thanks much for your quick response. We have tried all that you mention and nothing seems to work. When we try to connect to the Inernet, that is when the conflict takes place. We even tried resetting the IP address via the command control using "ipconfigure" DOS commands - still no successs. There has to be a way to go in an manually remove the IP address listed (when you do the ipconfigure command)?
Any help will be most appreciated.
Thanks again.

To remove an ip address from the command line you need to type: "ipconfig" and press enter on keyboard. The information will appear. retype "ipconfig" then a space /release repeat same command after you get all zeros with /renew good luck
