OK, so our router crapped out on us a few weeks back. We got a new one, but since then, I've had several issues. One is that my AIM connection mysteriously and randomly drops out - yet my browser remains unaffected. On my browser, there are suddenly websites I simply can't access, Wikipedia for one. And signing into my email, suddenly this is what happens:

1. Login page
2. "Loading" page
3. Nothing happens/can't find server
4. I push "back", and find that I've logged in and clicking "check mail" this time takes me right to my box.

I've fiddled with my firewall settings, but nothing seems to change. I'd like to think it's the router, since these issues started as soon as we got it... but other computers hooked to it don't have these issues. Any ideas?

Trace rout. You can track the hops your request makes and how long it's spending at each place.

Open a command line and type:
