Comcast cable without a router?

[DarkKnight]

I'm trying to get my comcast cable to work without a router but when I connnect my cable modem directly to my computer no connection is detected. Does anyone know how to set this up?

Is Windows telling you there is no cable, or are you just not getting an ip address?

Do you have the right kind of cable? If you have a cross over, try a straight through. If you have a straight through, try a cross over.

If you aren't getting an ip address but Windows says there is a network connection, check your MAC address. Your ISP might keep track of that.

Did you reset the cable modem and the PC? You won't get connected if you just move the cable from the router to the PC without cycling power on the cable modem and renewing the IP address on the PC.
