Save yourself some headache and replace your DNS server settings with 
two of these DNS servers provided courtesy of Level3.

    4.2.2.1
    4.2.2.2
    4.2.2.3
    4.2.2.4

Comcast's DNS servers are notoriously problematic. (probably due to 
stupid immature 4ack3rz who are customers inside the Comcast network)
