C7000-100NAS bot allowing access to 1 Website?

We have one of these routers on a Comcast Business account. The other day we lost the ability to connect to our externally hosted website.

Our local domain: "thisdomain.localhost" and the site is "thisdomain.com" - has worked for years. I can ping and tracert to the site but browsers timeout.

 

Is it possible Comcast chnaged something? I have a DNS forwarder entry to point the web address to the proper external IP. A nslookup shows a number of public IP6 addresses showing up which never did before prompting some network people to tell me this modem is leaking those addresses from Comcast. To make things worse, i can't login to the admin page (took this abanadoned account and nobody knows the login for the router.) And ideas to check? Thanks.

    If you haven't made any changes to the modem your self, I would ask your ISP about this. 

    See if they have put a block on the modems admin page access as well.
