I was told by 2 different comcaste dudes that i could have a static IP. I spent a alot of time on the phone with them bitching and whatnot. Anyhow, i got an american, he aksed me what i needed my ports forwarded for, and i said for stuff on oink, he warmed up and told me a bunch of stuff he shouldnt have. He told me that comcast rents their ips, and that a specific ip for a houshold will only change if the ip expires. He said on his comp, he also used for torrents on comcast service, the ip didnt change for 9 months, then one day his ports wernt forwarded anymore, he just had to reforward them. This didnt help me having my ports forwarded. What worked for me, and this sounds weird im sure, I just plugged into my pc directly from the comcast box, and then back through the router and i guess it recognized the ip and i ports are forwarded, not here, but im clever oink. thats what i know about comcast
