Last week I got Comcast@home and, since I wanted to continue using my Airport network, went out and bought a router. After sifting through nearly every thread of the topic, I was able to get my new network up & running, but I remember having to manually configure the ABS, including DNS numbers. It took me about two hours to actually get these numbers, and I honestly don't remember how I did it.
I spent another two hours at a friend's last night helpng him get his ABS/Comcast/router net going, only I could NOT remember how to get the DNS numbers needed for this connection.
Is there a simple (or other) way to get these numbers to plug into the Airport Base Station?
I don't own an ABS, but if I understand you correctly, you need the IP address of your domain name servers. The way DNS works, you can use any domain name server and everything still should work (well, unless you are doing something funky with your LAN). It is better to use closer domain name servers, because they may be faster or more reliable, but any domain name servers will work.

Any help is appreciated.
Here are the two Comcast name servers that I use:
68.39.224.5
68.39.224.6
Here are two University of Michigan name servers:
141.211.144.15
141.211.125.15
Hope this helps.
