While I haven't had a chance to try and reproduce this on my 675 running
CBOS 2.4.2, I do have a filter put in place that blocks access to port 80
on the modem only. You might try using the 'set filter' command that's
part of CBOS.

Placing a filter on a IP that is dynamic tends to be a pain, but, it will
at least keep your modem from crashing.
