Hello everyone.  Just now, I have upgraded from AT&T to Comcast, and got much faster internet.  We got a new router as well.  However, with Comcast, I get 'There is a problem with your connection' messages every 10 seconds to 3 minutes.  Sometimes the message only appear for 1 second, sometimes for 10, other times I get disconnected from the server.  The first thing that I thought that might be interfering would be a firewall, but then I realized I don't have one.  But my router had a firewall, so I put myself on DMZ mode.  I don't have any anti-viruses either.  I heard that I may have to contact Comcast to ensure that the ports I need are opened.  If I'm not mistaken, these are the ports I need:

UDP Ports:

27900
29900
29910
27901
55123
55124
55215
16567
1500-4999
18060

TCP Ports:

80
29900
29901
29920
28910
4711
18060

Since I'm in DMZ mode, I don't need to do any of that port forwarding stuff, because all of my ports are already open, right?  And is it possible that Comcast still may have some ports closed that I can't access from my computer?

I've also tried updating Punkbuster, which was already up to date.

I tried deleting the C:\My Docs\Battlefield 2\dmp, LogoCache, & mods folders, but that didn't do anything either.

I also ran UO Trace, this is what I got:

If I'm not mistaken, those results are bad, right?

I don't have any background processes open.

All my drivers are up to date.

I don't know what else to do or try, can anyone offer some help or advice?

Thanks.

Hmm.  I was just playing with a guy who had Comcast, and the second I had the 'There is a problem with your connection' message, he had it too, and whenever he DC'd, I DC'd at the same time as well.  He lived on the other side of the country.  Can I be pretty sure that this is a Comcast problem?
