Cable modem hackers conquer the co-ax

Heh. I have Comcast Digital cable Internet and am wondering why I can't browse to their site. Funny, I can ping the Tcniso server and get a response, however, I cannot open a web window to it. Keep up the good work ppls, I would like to read more about your tool but it seems you are being censored by Comcast. Funny, I used to only think it was AOL that did this type of injustice. Learn something new everyday.
