Hello,
I have a question about the first line in tracert.
We just had some network guys come in and set up a new network and firewall. Things suddenly got a lot slower accessing the internet. In every tracert, the first line times out.
Is this a DNS problem? Like is it trying to resolve using the local domain server first, then giving up and trying the ISP's?
Here's an example:
Tracing route to
