Websites taking long to load/timing out

recently websites take long to load and sometimes time out, nothing has really changed in terms of software, and i believe it's a problem for another computer at my house as well, i am connected via ethernet so it's not a wireless hardware issue and my internet connection doesn't drop when the websites time out, and it's not firefox because when i ping via command prompt sometimes the pings time out

i did a traceroute for google and a website i visit regularly, and i noticed that the first trace times out in both occasions, i'm not really familiar with traceroute but i believe the first trace is to the router/modem, however i can ping the router/modem fine and connect to the config via firefox, i have also tried restarting the gateway and the problem still persists

if u need any other information please let me know, thanks
 
your router can be configured to IGNORE PING ... thus timeouts to it are meaningless
 
let's do some simple things first

1) use IPCONFIG /ALL and post your results

2) find your ISP gateway (it's not show in the above)

3)
ping your router by ip address
ping your isp gateway by address
nslookup www.google.com. (note the trailing DOT!)
ping www.google.com (note: missing the dot)​
you should have NO timeouts and you should get the google.com ip-address returned by nslookup.

pls post your findings ...

don't know what an isp gateway is, my ip is 99.7.73.137 if it helps define it

block ping is already enabled on my router by default
 
http://checkip.dyndns.org/ will show your public WAN address (ie how your ISP sees you)

your router has a router's LAN address, in your case 192.168.1.254

your system has the LAN address 192.168.1.100

the ISP Gateway is none of the above;
your router config interface will show you the correct ISP gateway.

recall: your system(192.168.1.100)==>to the router(192.168.1.254)==>ISP Gateway address(?)
and that is not the same as your public WAN address.

in a tracert;
the first line is your router(LAN==192.168.1.254)
and the second will be the ISP Gateway :)

the object of all the PING / NSLOOKUP was to prove traffic went to the right places &
that your DNS was able to convert a NAME => IP address

Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Broadcast

NodeType controls the name resolution request and the values are shown here:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\NetBT\Parameters\NodeType RegDword = 8
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\NetBT\Parameters\NodeType RegDword = 8
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters\NodeType RegDword = 8

you will need to reboot to make it effective and then ipconfig /all will show
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid

this is the North Amer DotA Syn.
There should be only two reasons you can't access that site
  1. the server is down
  2. that site has been block at your router, parental controls, or your firewall
A blocked site will normally respond as Not Available(404) or sometimes as a Timeout

after talking with a tech via phone for a while it was concluded that all of my nat sessions (1024) were being occupied by bit torrent, and bit torrent was shut down and the router was reset the nat session usage went down to 70-100, and when i reopened bit torrent it instantly occupied every remaining session

my global connections is set to 300 for bit torrent, is this the issue? i'm not too familiar with the config of this and any feedback on this would be appreciated
