Be aware that you don't have to use the DNS servers provided by Comcast.
A quick google will reveal lots of public dns servers that perform better
than the Comcast DNS servers.

This being the Fedora list, you also have the option of using your own. Just "yum install caching-nameserver" and edit your resolv.conf to point to 127.0.0.1. You'll need to edit the line in your interface config to prevent the DHCP client from overwriting resolv.conf. (Is there a GUI to change that setting? I always do it with a text editor.) Looking at /sbin/dhclient-script, it looks like you need "PEERDNS=no" in your ifcfg-eth0 script.
