I'm afraid that I am a virgin newbie! I do not understand what you are trying to tell me! Do I enter something in terminal ? I do remember that I was asked a question about comcast, however, I can't remember where this came from and how to edit it. Can you help me ?
Best Regards!
Harry

Perhaps the trailing dot is the problem?
