Why would doing a tracert lead to only "request timed out" to the destination? Seems odd.

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Tracing route to start.ca [204.101.248.50]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 1 ms 3 ms 1 ms 192.168.1.1
2 * * * Request timed out.
3 * * * Request timed out.
4 * * * Request timed out.
5 * * * Request timed out.
6 21 ms 20 ms 21 ms ws01-010.start.ca [204.101.248.50]

Trace complete.

This happens with every site I've tried though Start is the only one that reaches the destination.

Are you modifying the iptables on the router?
The problem is a blocked/dropped ICMP error packet
icmp-type time-exceeded
Which is returned for every hop that responds except the last.
