Trouble Reaching Web Sites

I am having considerable trouble reaching some web sites. A good example is

formatting link
I usually cannot get it to display. My browser, Firefox, says it is "Waiting for images.pcworld.com" or "Looking up ad.doubleclick.net". Internet Explorer does much the same, saying "Opening page
formatting link
', but that is as far as it goes. I can reach my ISP, DSLExtreme, and most other sites with no problem.

My download speed from a few test sites averages 730 kbps. I am using Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. My CPU speed is 3.0 GHz.

Here are ping and tracert results to pcworld.com. (I am in Los Angeles.)
