This should show what the card is actually using. 
The Pro/100 is a pci card and should not need any int settings.

Also execute; 
[root at localhost ~]# ifconfig -a
 
There should be an IP address for the NIC.

( Comcast uses DHCP servers and the card must be configured to use DHCP 
-- I also have Comcast-- );

That's the problem. It can't obtain an IP address. It's set up to use DHCP.
