I live in Mokena, Ill with comcast homepage, one day I Mokena the nxt 2 weeks that I have Philadelphia. I change and for some browsers it is fresh then it's Philadelphia

Only on firefox! I use the most. My homepage of Comcast of Mokena, Illinois (Chicago) appears as Philadelphia for the last 2 months. I have change the postcode and Mokena perhaps 1/2 day to a day. Then I'm back to Philadelphia. About 3 weeks, I had my normal Mokena page for about a week. Now I'm back to relive in Philly. Chicago is not Philly. Have you ever heard of this problem? It is only on Firefox. I spoke to a representative from Comcast, and he has never heard of him. Help. Thanks Jim

I didn't know that occur with Comcast for a few years now, but I used to have it occur fairly regularly in the course of close to 2 years. Model address dynamic IP from Comcast connected me thru Philly or Alexandria, WILL sometimes instead of the connection point of Elmhurst, Illinois local which was normally used. It happened when Comcast was doing maintenance and updates to level on the old systems AT & T had acquired it a few years previously in the Chicago area. There were nights where my IP address was changed as often as every 10 minutes - I would go to another website and I would like to see the info about the stuff in Philly or Alexandria, WILL and the other would be local stuff in the northern suburb of Chicago where I'm located. I installed a small utility program that would pop-up a small windows with the new IP address when it has been modified, to keep track of how many times it happened. I don't remember the name of this program, but he kept a daily diary of text of each IP address change.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the "lease" for an IP address will expire every 72 hours (3 days) and must be renewed automatically from Comcast DHCP servers. If you use Comcast internet service more than 3 days, it is possible that your old IP address was reallocated to another person and you would get a different one. But it should be the Bank of available local IP addresses, not the one of to halfway across the country.

When this happens, load this page and see where the site thinks you are located.

Keep track of the time and the IP address that appears - perhaps the information will help you to a Comcast rep figure why is happening.
