    It looks like you typoed the server and/or protocol when you configured Outlook Express for comcast. Usually it is SMTP instead of SMPT.

    Try changing your Outlook Express settings for your comcast account to the following:
    Server: smtp.comcast.net
    Protocol: SMTP

    Outgoing mail configurations usually use SMTP. (SMTP = Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

    See http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/S/SMTP.html for more information about mail protocols.
