[c-nsp] ComCast

[Voll, Scott]

I have an employee that uses ComCast Cable and recently has run into a
little problem.

 

He has ComCast High Speed Internet with a little FW.  If he has one PC
no problem but if he plugs in a second PC it slows to a crawl.  Both PC
work great individually either from the ComCast Cable or behind the FW.
He as also switched out Three different FWs.  All have the same issue.

 

He did some searching and he's not the only one having this issue.

 

How is ComCast seeing weather they have one or more computers behind a
FW.  The whole purpose of a FW is to hid everything.

 

ComCast wants to sell him the home networking package to take care of
this.  He didn't have this issue previous to Christmas.

 

Any ideas?
