I purchased this tower for a friend who was in need of a good hard drive. The drive came with Win7 and hasn't worked properly since she got it. It's not even stable, all kinds of problems. I've contacted seller numerous times and no response so I would NOT buy anything from them. I am now filing a claim through amazon.

I wanted XP and this came with it. I am hooked up to a router from my internet server so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. My Dell works very well.

No you need the modem that Comcast provides, it's a lot bigger with a different config. This one quit after a couple of months use and they would not refund my money just offered another junk one like it.

The one I purchased has XP, but it's possible it was upgraded to Home Premium. These are questions you need answered by the seller.

It comes with XP, but I did put on windows 7(home basic edition) on mine. It works very well.

You will need a router for WiFi. I had a very, very difficult time with Comcast and this modem. It ships with an outdated firmware and only Comcast can update it. I tried about 5 times with tech support and gave up. Try the Zoom modems instead.

Hi, no, ours came with Windows XP installed and included a disc. Very good deal, decent refurb, still working.

I used it on a Windows 7 OS, but Medialink's literature says it works on XP so I would have a high confidence level that it will work on XP Professional. I also have a Medialink router that works flawlessly so I have had good experience with Medialink wireless products.

You need a modem and router. This works with comcast. Get a modem off this list of theirs that is d3 and IPv6 on the chart to the right. Then you need a router like this one. http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net

Got 3 years ago with XP, upgraded to Win 7 Pro I would not use XP if connecting to the internet. No security updates anymore.

Hi, this model is on the Comcast approved equipment list. I'm using Comcast too, but currently I'm experiencing difficult time with this setup. It is not consistent/reliable in the speed for some unknown reason. It can be very fast when it works properly but later the speed will drop almost to a halt. Very frustrating and have called Comcast multiple times, but as of today, the problem still exists.

Thanks for responding F.Lewis I just reread Amazons copy and they state that there is a port for a modem. I still don't know if that means that there is an internal modem or it's there for an external modem. The only XP software that I use is my Corel Paint ShopPro PHOTOX2. It just seems wrong that I would buy a new comp for around 5 to 6 hundred and then have to pay another almost 200 to upgrade it for one program. I feel confused and annoyed at the way things seem to be working out, sigh.

Have not been able to connect to router with two computers using XP and 7. Wireless connection using 7 has no problem connecting to the router.

Fortunately yes, Joshua David, Windows xp is the operating system I have installed on my computer. I have Windows XP servipack 3 and this Wi-Fi net card works great. You can use this card for you on Windows xp without any hesitation.

If you have a wifi router attached to any computer nearby an internet connection. You can use a USB netgear type device and it should work with windows XP windows 7 or 8

I would tell you but it seems like a waste of time when you already know what to do. Sorry just giving you a hard time. I actually didn't do it. Comcast came by on a service call and installed it without me asking them. Would have been ok if they had done what i actually asked them.

It works fine with Comcast, however make sure that you check the firmware of the modem after installation. If its less than 2010, then you will have to contact your internet provider to get it upgraded. This can only be upgraded by the internet provider.
