For anyone who is on the East Coast on comcast and can get on this message board without traditional internet access, you can access the internet if you input the following DNS:

216.146.35.35
Google's DNS server 8.8.8.8

Mobile devices, alternate sources of internet such as libraries, friends house, etc.

My house is actually on Comcast, and we've been trying to get the Internet back on without knowing it... I inadvertently got back on-line by reading a guide to use alternate DNS. I'll let the roommates know!

Thanks for the news, OP.

Also can you provide instructions? I just realized I can't google "how to use an alternate DNS"

Open Network Connections from the Control Panel
Right click your Comcast connection
Go to Properties
Click TCP/IP protocol
Properties
Find DNS field and input addresses.

It's more complicated from behind a router but I'll get to that in about 45 minutes after I get back from class. Basically log in, input dns into router field that deals with it.

Go to your list of wireless networks (in Vista and 7, left click on the network icon in the lower right corner). Right click on the network you're connected to, and choose Status.
Click on Properties, NOT wireless properties.
Under "This connection uses the following items:", click on Internet Protocol Version 4.
Hit Properties below that box.
Change the radio button from "Obtain DNS server address automatically" to "Use the following DNS server addresses." In "Preferred DNS server," enter 8.8.8.8

This works everyone, at least on XP 8.8.8.8 DNS solves it!

For whoever is on a Mac, go to System Preferences.

Network -> Click on the connection you're on -> Click Advanced -> Click DNS then add Google's DNS address (also 8.8.4.4). Click OK then Apply.

Roommates are on Macbooks, so yeah.

Update for all - Issues seems resolved, for now. You can resume using the Comcast DNS servers if you wish (just go back to the "detect DNS servers automatically" option).

My call center alone was queuing over 2,000 internet-related calls. The inbound 1-800 number actually got so overwhelmed it was issuing out a busy signal when you tried to call it.

Appeared to be a national issue, we had reports from all over the country (mostly east coast from what I saw).

Comcast is down for everyone I know (I live in Southeast Michigan), I wonder if it's the same thing. The funny thing is, every website is down for me, except for teamliquid. I'm completely stumped.
I don't have mono anymore. Woooo!

Tried the 8.8.8.8 fix and it worked, now I have all websites up. Weird that the only site that was up for me earlier was TL. I guess RICH must have changed something so that it would automatically go to that DNS network.
