What site are you trying to reach?

This is the path that 198.170.243.244 takes:
 1. 192.168.1.251
 2. ???
 3. 68.11.12.25
 4. mctydsrc02-gew0304.rd.no.cox.net
 5. mctybbrc02-pos0101.rd.no.cox.net
 6. mctybbrc01-pos0100.rd.no.cox.net
 7. 68.1.1.200
 8. dllsbbrc02-pos0102.rd.dl.cox.net
 9. ge-3-2-0.r02.dllstx01.us.bb.verio.net
10. p16-1-1-0.r21.dllstx01.us.bb.verio.net
11. p16-2-0-0.r00.stngva01.us.bb.verio.net
12. ge-0-1-0.r00.stngva01.us.wh.verio.net
13. ge-25.a0717.stngva01.us.wh.verio.net
14. www.fommy.com

This is the path that 161.58.7.191 takes:
 1. 192.168.1.251
 2. ???
 3. 68.11.12.25
 4. mctydsrc01-gew0304.rd.no.cox.net
 5. mctybbrc01-pos0101.rd.no.cox.net
 6. 68.1.1.200
 7. dllsbbrc02-pos0102.rd.dl.cox.net
 8. ge-3-2-0.r02.dllstx01.us.bb.verio.net
 9. p16-1-1-0.r21.dllstx01.us.bb.verio.net
10. p16-2-0-0.r00.stngva01.us.bb.verio.net
11. ge-0-1-0.r00.stngva01.us.wh.verio.net
12. ge-25.a0730.stngva01.us.wh.verio.net
13. fommy1.tempdomainname.com

An alternative besides moving is ponying up for a commercial Cox
account.
