I have Comcast also. Most of the time you need to register the MAC address of your BBA with them so that their DHCP server will recignize it and resolve an IP for it. Call comcast and tell them you need to regiater the MAC on your "laptop" (don't mention your GC.) The MAC is on a white sticker on the bottom of the BBA which will start with 000 (its a 12 character long alpha-numeric string.) Once the BBA MAC is registered with them, power cycle your modem and try to connect.

I experienced the joys of the MAC address problem yesterday a whole afternoon and evening wasted tinkering with various configurations. I have a different provider and I was able to do it over the Internet. There should be a note somewhere about this if there isn't already 'cause I couldn't find info. on it anywhere, glad it's ok.
