The only problem I have is this just started last week. I have had this

I did find out that Comcast is now updating and replacing hardware for
higher speeds. At least that is what one of the technical support person
told me. So their are big network changes happening. Naturally I do not
remember the specific details.
Did they make any network changes last week?
I am concerned with the DNS calls to dyndns.org. Well at least the half
hearted attempt. Not sure why is it appending xxz0n3dxx to the front of
that URL. Same goes with
xxz0n3dxx.dyndns.org.hsd1.pa.comcast.net. If I remember correctly the
suffix of hsd1.pa.comcast.net is part of a real comcast DNS.
Does Comcast give the IP address assigned to your machine a DNS address
in the hsdl.pa.comcast.net domain? If so, if some process is trying to
look up xxz0n3dxx.dyndns.org, when the attempt to look it up fails, the
resolver probably says "maybe that's a non-fully-qualified domain name"
and tries to append the domain name suffix for the domain you're in.
