I did as you did and set up my systems to statically assign comcast's
DNS servers, but like you say, this is just asking for heartache
further down the line (at least I have internet access for the near
term). Comcast support did the same to me, as soon as I had to admit
that when I bypassed the router my DNS queries resolved OK they had
their opportunity to drop out of the loop and grabbed it.

I was hoping somebody else with Comcast would respond. Otherwise I was
assuming my router just went flakey and was going to replace it.

I wonder if there is something different about the DNS responses coming
back from Comcast that has triggered some bug or incompatibility in the
router's DNS code. Maybe it could be fixed in a firmware update if we
could get somebody at NetGear to look at it. It would be an awfully
strange coincidence that our same model router fails in the same manner
at the same time using the same ISP that is making changes in the
problem area.

I just set up a cheap Hawking wireless router on Comcast, and DNS is working
perfectly. If there were some general Comcast problem, then I think you'd see
a *lot* more flaming here.
