can't acess my home webserver

I have a web server and dns it through dyndns.org and it was working. I was able to use Dyndns.org for and it works but now it's seems to have a very odd problem. I can't no longer access it from work. I test the server and i can access it from home through http://xxxxxx.dyndns.org. I thought that it may be a problem with my server but I ask my brother to access it from his house via the http://xxxxx.dyndns.org and it works. This leads me to believe that it may be my computer from work or something is not set right. The work computer was able to access it before, but no longer can anyone shed some lights on this issue.
 
the funny thing is that it was working before. Then all of a sudden it is no longer working. Anyone with knowledge please help.

Thanks
 
As Chiefcrowe said, your work IT department is probably blocking it. The fact that the site works normally for your brother means that the home server is fine, and suggests that the office IT department has started blocking the connection.
 
okay guys,

this is getting wierder and wierder. I think I'm being haunted by a qhost.
I tried to ping my home server from websites that provides ping test. half of the sites pings come back normal and other half says packet loss is 100%. what is going on? Now I could browse the server from my work place if I go through an online browsing service like "www.hidemyass.com" but I can't do it normally by opening firefox and IE. I also can access the server from the business next door. They can see it just fine. Can anyone with experience shed some lights.

Thanks,
 
okay,

In response to Fardringle:

Unless comcast decides to block it internally via their control center, otherwise I have control of the router and the cable modem and nothing has change as far as I'm concern. It was working like 3 days ago and nothing has changed, because I'm the only person who has access to the router and the cable modem. Any more clues? If in fact comcast did block it, can I get them to release it because I need to run syn backups from work to home. I do not see why comcast would block it.

*FORGOT* I can't access it directly either through IP address. the problem does not lie with dyndns.org. Other places can see it directly through IP and dyndns.org. I'm frustrated. *tears*
 
yeah, sorry to say but the work people are probably blocking IPs with certain connections or certain types of traffic. that's my best guess anyway.
 
Problem sovled.

Thanks for everyone who took their time to reply and help out. The solution was to reset comcast modem. Talked to comcast and their modems are cheap and easily crap out. RESET does the job. should've thought about it before posting.

Thanks again everyone.
