I have a Comcast Modem which is connected to a Netgear Router for my home network. I just bought the Apple Time Capsule. Do I simply take the Netgear Router offline and substitute the Time Capsule. If so does this require a new Network name and security?

The router and modem are connected t oa PC but all the other computers on the network are Apple. 

You should be able to substitute the TC for the netgear.. although you might find the wireless range is somewhat less.
Power down both the netgear and the cable modem.. plus all the clients.. leave the modem off for 5min at least.. maybe 15min..
Put the TC in place of the Netgear.. you do not need to change the name, although PC will work better if you keep everything SMB compatible.. that means both TC name and wireless names, short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
Power up the modem.. wait 2min then power up the TC, then the rest of the clients.. check in airport utility to make sure the TC got public iP on  the wan interface.
