Good. That means your TCP stack is fine.

Sounds like a routing problem or a hardware problem. More likely a hardware
problem.
1) Make certain the patch cord from the computer to the cable modem is
properly hooked up and is not internally damaged. Replace it with a new
cord to be certain ($5 or so). It will be a straight-through Ethernet
cable. Anything CAT-5 or higher is fine.
2) Make sure the RF cable from the modem to the wall is screwed in
completely and has not worked loose.
3) Also make sure household pets or rodents haven't been chewing on the
cables, and make sure they haven't been pinched under furniture legs or
between the desk and the wall (the cables, not the pets).
----------------------------
If you've replaced the patch cable, tightened the RF cable to the modem and
the problem persists, do the steps below:
1) Open up cmd again and type the following EXACTLY as you see it here:
route print > "My Documents"\route.txt <then hit enter>
2) Then type this:
ipconfig > "My Documents"\config.txt <enter>
This will create two files in your My Documents that you can copy and paste
into a reply to this message. If there is a routing problem, these filkes
will reveal it.
