I wish I had a reason (read:cable) to go to that page

 

[fury]

I still do

It seems no matter where I go, neither cable nor DSL is an option.

When you get your email about downloading the "new comcast.net software which is so good you'll piss your pants with excitement", or something to that effect, DON"T!!!!!

Outlook Express-Tools/Accounts/New/Mail:

General Tab-name the account(Comcast mail?), [email protected]

Server Tab-pop3, mail.comcast.net, smtp.comcast.net
(yourusername), (the password they emailed you to your @home addy)

Connection Tab-check it if you want & ONLY use comcast

That's it. You may wwant to go make "rules" for that accouont, but it isn't necessary. The software is just bloated crap to take up space & nothing more.

oh yea, My @home service will be making the transition in a few days. The cable company, Mediacom, is taking it over. I hope like hell they have good service
