    what the heck is it?

    Here's the text I copied from Norton Security Suite:

    "Category: Firewall - Network and Connections
    Date & Time,Risk,Activity,Status,Recommended Action,Category

    IP address has disappeared from adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface and is no longer being protected (IP address: 2001::9d38:953c:1093:1c45:e77d:7fb5).
    "

    I did a bit of googling and some answers point towards looking for exclamation points in Device Manager, under the Network Adapters and something about IPV6. I really don't know any more than before I did my research.

    I use Comcast cable for my internet. Do I need to go into the network adapter settings and disable things related to IPV6?

    No, IPV6 is just a networking protocol that will someday replace IPV4 (which is what you're using now). You can disable the device in Device Manager if it shows up. It's not a big concern though; something that was introduced with Vista I think that's used to tunnel IPV6 traffic over IPV4.
