So I VPNed into my employer's network and had no trouble getting ghostscript through them, but there was an issue with my home (Comcast) internet.  Very bizarre.

Usually these HTML files will have been generated by "that domain doesn't exist, maybe you'll like these search results" servers (in which case they usually list what URL you had tried to access), or "you must log in to this network" servers (in which case, you must log in to the network). But in your case it tells us nothing at all.
