Tracert from work seems to get stuck at the same point, although at work I'm actually able to access the site.
What no one here seems to have noticed is that traceroute != http. Just because ICMP (traceroute) packets are blocked at a certain point does not mean that is the problem you are having with http/ftp/smtp. ICMP packets are routinely blocked at border devices (firewalls) for security reasons. The fact that your traceroute dies at the same point at work as from home is the big clue that you are diagnosing a non-problem e.g. the traceroute is not telling you anything about your problem other than the fact that your routing appears to be fine.
