Bad routing table in Comcast router c-50-133-90-64.hsd1.mi.comcast.net

We have a block of IP's provided by Comcast and none of our employees in a particular area here in Michigan are able to access any of those IPs. After asking the employees to replace their Comcast modems, and resetting their routers I finally decided to get connected to their computers while they were logged in at their homes to run some traceroutes.  ALL of the employees live within a couple miles of each other and all experience the same bad route shown below.  The packets drop at hop 3. See below:

 

TEST ONE - Static IP to our mail server

 

Mikes-iMac:~ $ TRACEROUTE 96.92.XX.XX
TRACEROUTE to 96.92.XX.XX (96.92.XX.XX), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets
 1  router.asus.com (192.168.1.1)  0.998 ms  0.742 ms  0.691 ms
 2  c-68-55-28-1.hsd1.mi.comcast.net (68.55.28.1)  8.422 ms  9.978 ms  8.451 ms
 3  c-50-133-90-64.hsd1.mi.comcast.net (50.133.90.64)  15.730 ms  16.079 ms  16.438 ms

TEST TWO - Static IP to our Citrix services

 2  c-68-55-28-1.hsd1.mi.comcast.net (68.55.28.1)  10.145 ms  8.638 ms  15.457 ms
 3  c-50-133-90-64.hsd1.mi.comcast.net (50.133.90.64)  14.263 ms  16.630 ms  15.520 ms

keep calling in trouble tickets.  This forum isn't an official support gateway.  If you are persistent enough they will eventually resolve it.

 

Sometimes it helps to post the response along with the trouble ticket number to the forum.  But you must get a ticket number first.

Comcast,

 

I called Comcast Business and confirmed none of our static IP's have been blocked and that the IP's are reachable.  All of our Comcast customers in other areas and non-Comcast customers are able to reach the services on these IP's.

 

Please contact me and I will provide our block of static IP's.

 

Thank you

This is the right answer. Call and call and call until you speak to someone who understands the issue and escalates it.  Once on the phone with Tier II, we resolved the issue within a few hours.

 

There was overlapping address space in multiple CMTSs.
