Linksys E4200 arbitrarily blocking web sites

I have a E4200 V1 router.  A website that I have been accessing for years all the sudden no longer works.  If I use my PC and PPTP VPN to another location, I can browse the website fine.  If I remove the router and plug directly into my Comcast internet connection, I can browse the website fine.  If I enable logging on the router, it shows the connection on port 80 just like every other outgoing connection.  Security log shows nothing.  I was on firmware version 1.0.03, upgraded to 1.0.05.  Tried resetting to factory defaults before I updated firmware, and after I updated the firmware.  The website all the sudden just stopped working 2 weeks ago.  I also tried putting my PC as the DMZ IP address and nothing.

I was sure it was my Comcast Cable internet connection until I bypassed the router and no longer had the issue.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, solved this myself.  Cloned my PC MAC address to the router, and everything works fine.  Which means it was comcast blocking my linksys MAC address from accessing certain web sites.  I have been using the linksys MAC address for over a year now with no issues.  How irratating.
