Modem Time Out Using Tracert Program Options

[StevenHeller]

Hi All

Right now I have a PC connected to the internet via cable (Brighthouse). But I have noticed that my cable modem times out every time I run the command promt network checking program.
I have tried a couple of other pc's with this modem and it still does the same thing.
I'm curious to see if anyone else has run into this slowdown.

thanks

See results below:

I have a webstar modem from scientific atlanta.

One failed hop doesn’t mean that there is a problem since your final destination is reachable; here are some articles about traceroute that illustrate this point:

mine completely bypasses the modem but times out at the network monitoring server that my isp uses. most modems haven't the software to recieve or answer downstream requests.
