I have Comcast cable internet. The comcast cable goes into a Motorola
SB5100 Surfboard Cable Modem and then an ethernet cable goes from the modem
to my computer. No router and no other computers are connected. I'm using
IPv4 and File Sharing protocols only, all others are disabled. I don't have
any kind of VPN settings configured that I know of.
