for a few days now i have been having trouble accessing sites. this is weird, because i can access certain sites but as i am surfing one site will stop working, but others will carry on. i tried powering down my modem for 60 secs and then doing it again, sometimes that works.
anyway, i have a broadband modem/router, at its default lan address.
so i try a trace route program to see if there is a server down. it is being a little slow, but... most hops get 100% loss at IP address 0.0.0.0! my computer! i have windows firewall turned off, in fact i have no firewall (lol not sure i should be posting this)
sometimes, although there is apparently 100% loss, somehow the trace route carries on. but on certain sites it just refuses to budge.

very confusing....
