issues connecting?

[sir_digalot]

last few hops here from my house:

10 53 ms 49 ms 50 ms te7-1.dsr01.dllstx3.theplanet.com [70.87.253.2]
11 * * * Request timed out.
12 55 ms 86 ms 75 ms po1.car02.dllstx5.theplanet.com [70.87.254.10]
13 49 ms 50 ms 49 ms 3e.ec.5546.static.theplanet.com [70.85.236.62]

my last few hops here from work:

12 42 ms 42 ms 42 ms te9-2.dsr01.dllstx3.theplanet.com [70.87.253.14]
13 * * * Request timed out.
14 43 ms 42 ms 43 ms po1.car02.dllstx5.theplanet.com [70.87.254.10]
15 * * * Request timed out.

i cannot connect at work for anything
typing in the ip does not work either, and i have checked the firewall and proxy and nothing is blocked here either
we go through level3 for the most part
at home i use comcast

any ideas? it is getting tedious using VPN to RDC to a computer at home to surf here (yes i am that addicted!)
