Something sounds like its missing I don't work for RCN but I do work in cable. Why can't they run new outlets? You don't want to pay for them to do it, or they don't want to do it?

It depends on what he is doing. A lot of time they just installed remote access support when you were not looking, and you just need to remove that, other times they may have some real skills and know a venerability in the OS, first thing I would do is patch windows, mac, and I suspect if you...

Usually what you are seeing is caused by a faulty router or bad setup of said router, its possible Comcast is having issues, but its not plausible unless your neighbors are having the same problems. You may have an issue in your House wiring, but that is not Comcast's property, its yours. can...

The major difference between the 6121 and the 6141 is the number of carriers it CAN potentially bond. the 6121 supports 4, and the 6141 supports 8 on the downstream I think both only support 4 on the upstream. but this is limited by the plant your in and what the cmts allows it to bond to as...

Both possible and probable. The connectors are the first thing to go on any cable so the connector is probably not making a good connection, either way you have the internet back I'd recommend recycling the old Ethernet cable and going on with life.

The remote host address should be left at 0.0.0.0 unless you want to limit who can use the server, since you can only put in one IP its rather useless unless you only want one person connecting. You got that right. Check. Next is your side of the network the 192.168.x.x ip's and I assume you...

You do not, your cable ISP pushes it out to the modem. Basically arris or motorola says we have a new firmware that fixes problems for your customers and your cmts, here it is the cable company tests it and says uh we got issues or no major issues and then pushes it out to the customers via the...

you have to forward it to a computers internal IP address, since no computer has 192.168.0.0 as an IP you are forwarding it to a phantom device.

its not uncommon for a modem manufacturer to set things back to defaults when they upgrade the modem firmware, just log back in and check the settings, or hold down the reset button for 30 seconds and reset the whole thing up. It may also be you are using IPv6 and the 360 can only do IPv4, so...

Ethernet port/plug unless they install a wireless router combo unit or you install a wireless router after it, then physical would be radio waves to the antenna of your wireless card.

1. Are you sure its the modem? I know comcast [I assume other mso's] got a bad firmware ordeal with that model modem and are awaiting a fix from arris . I work for comcast, but have not seen the issue, its posted all over dslreports.com though. 2. Moca can be run over cable with tv just fine...

Technically an Ethernet cable uses electro-magnetic waves to transfer data. A coiled up electric cord is called a choke. I have no idea beyond that, but I have a feeling the first reply to your query is sarcastic. You can learn more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke_%28electronics%29
