I have Comcast and have a wireless network.  My same status has not
changed.  Will let you know if things change. Have you pinged Comcast about
it? I would, just to make sure THEY did it not not someone else.  If they
did, please post their response..  If not, you may have some security
issues.  If the latter is true, don't panic initially.  Let the list do
some forensics to see what might be going on.  Have dealt with hackers, and
if this is the case, patience is a virtue.  Let us know. But don't do info
sensitive transactions on said box.
