I have comcast as my internet provider. Comcast originally set up my
internet connection. Since then my pc has died and I just purchased a new
one. How do I set up my internet connection again. When I click on explorer
it comes with with about:blank in the url line.

What settings must I make in order to reconnect on my new computer.

thanks,
 
Hi James,

Not sure exactly what the problem is, but here's a couple of ideas.

If you want Comcast's site as your home page, navigate to the web page you
want to use as your home page (www.comcast.net or whatever). Then click on
the Tools menu item and select Internet Options. Under Internet options
you'll see a spot that you can set your home page. click on Use Current if
you want the current page you're on to come up when you first connect. You
can also type in any web page here, or click on Use Default, which will
usually put in www.msn.com.

If you're having problems with actually connecting to the internet, you may
need to run the connection wizard under Internet Options in the Control
Panel. If you're using a cable modem and Windows XP, you might not need to
setup anything else. If you're using DSL and/or an earlier version of
Windows, you might need the disk from the DSL or Cable provider, plus a
username/password.

Hope this helps.

-J
