I am having a weird problem with Amazon.com. Whenever I click on any link, I get a timeout error. As far as I know, I only have this problem with Amazon. Here is a tracert. Can anyone interpret it for me?

Have you done any thing basic like reboot router or even reboot your PC?

If you use third party DNS I'd try changing it to your ISP's DNS or 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9 or 1.1.1.1

I've had intermittent problems (orcon) but I believe it's my DNS Provider. I live with it, for the benefits I get.

It's going to be DNS, because it's always DNS :-)

No issues on One NZ, but my trace route goes to a local Akamai server

Interesting, I am getting internal error 500 at com.au when I search or go to specific categories.

When I do that trace I get "traceroute: Warning: amazon.com has multiple addresses; using 52.94.236.248" (and I can get to the site fine). For those who aren't having the issue, are you connecting to the same address?

It would help if you posted this with more information about your ISP.

If I recall correctly last time you had routing and access issues it was because of your DNS4ME setup.

My ISP is AO Net, a WISP. It doesn't allow me to access router settings so not sure what information I could provide. However, I have been doing some tests and have learned some more things. Something I should have done at the beginning, but didn't, is check my other devices. This issue is specific to one desktop. Other computers in my home do not have this problem. Whatever it is, it is specific to a single machine. That should rule out a lot of things.

I have tried clearing caches, rebooting, even running a virus scan and checking the HOSTS file. Also different browsers. The problem seems to happen with any site that starts with Amazon in the name. AU, DE, UK all give the same result. IP addresses behave the same as DNS names. I looked some up for Amazon but get the same result. I looked at the firewall but it doesn't seem to be blocking anything. It is a real head-scratcher. This has been going on for while but I had let it go because I don't normally do much with Amazon. I would like to know what it is, though.

That is correct but I don't think so this time. I tried Google DNS in the adapter setting and it didn't help. Also, I get the same problem if I use the IP address.
