Host unreachable, from home network only

Hi, I'm seeing a routing problem to a specific external host, www.clarknaddison.com (74.95.134.237). I'm unable to see any traffic to this address from my home xfinity network, but I can from other locations outside. For example, I can tether my laptop to an AT&T phone and load that page without problems. I have so far not seen problems with any other web sites, but I believe this to be an issue with comcast routing.

A sample traceroute from my house:

$ traceroute www.clarknaddison.com

And one while tethered to the phone:

it appears that the difference is the routing through the intermediate ibone/chicago.comcast.net switches. Can anyone help me resolve this, or point me to the right place to escalate this?

Thanks!

I can reach the site. When one customer cannot reach a site but others can, it may mean the site is blocking that customer's public Comcast IP. You can look up your IP at https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+my+IP.

My trace from South-Central PA looks like:

Note that my trace reaches one hop past where yours appears to die, which can mean that the target site or its webhost are blocking you.

Are you using a Comcast gateway device with their buggy "xFi Security" enabled?
