I live in Michigan, and for most of tonight, Thursday, April 7, it
appeared that Comcast was hosed on a nationwide scale. It seemed like
they had some serious dns issues going on or something. Email was
working for the most part as were some web sites, but connectivity was
up and down, mostly down, and a lot of sites simply refused to resolve.
I called a friend in California who said he was having the same problem,
and calls to Comcast from both Michigan and California only yielded a
busy signal.
Does anyone have the official word as to what went down?

Check out the DSLreports Forums under ComcastHSI. There were several
answers but I think the one that seemed closest was they had one or two DNS
servers go down today. They started getting flakey yesterday. Anyway
apparantly Comcast is having trouble dealing with this. Many users are
manually setting different DNS servers that is working for most. It seems
the standard is to use 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 but others have been used as
well.

Or perhaps get a free program called Treewalk and install it.
Will probably take care of your DNS problems no matter what happens with
their DNS servers.
