Traceroute & Ping Failure - please help!

I am having trouble connecting to a few web sites. I've spent HOURS on the phone with tech support at my ISP, but they have been unable to help. They think it's a problem with my system. I've tried all the regular stuff (rebooting everything, clearing cache, etc). Can anyone interpret my Traceroute and Ping output and tell me if this is a problem I can fix?

PING:
abigail:~ myabigail$ ping crateandbarrel.com

Is it just that one site?

Plus your ISP's DNS (as well as most other ISPs) is close to atrocious. To give you the power of one the oldest parts of the young internet (after the ARPANET) back to you go to OpenDNS and following the direction to add them to you system. Then open a free account with them to control your DNS directly.

This should help.
 
I've also rebooted my router -- but the problem still remains.

Here's my traceroute output:
abigail:~ myabigail$ traceroute crateandbarrel.com
traceroute to crateandbarrel.com (63.73.227.20), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets

Open your System Preferences->Network and look at the IP Gateway. Then type that IP in your favorite browser address bar. If a screen with it showing username/password or it logs you into something, then the DSL modem can be configured and it does some kind of IP routing.
 
OK. Now what? By the way, I've already changed to OpenDNS using the configurations on the gateway. Someone else suggested that would help, although it hasn't.
