It took me forever to work out my Comcast self-install kit. Connecting a computer directly to the modem, no problem (although watch out for tons of Comcast bloatware that comes with), but working out my network connection took a while. The solution was extremely easy, but to get there, it took reading a post by a very helpful network geek here http://ask.metafilter.com/49038/Unshackle-my-home-network. Check out the post by paulsc. The clincher was to wait for the modem to work out it's global ip (2 min) BEFORE connecting your router. Only then can your router figure out what ip's to divy out. Joy.
