OK, in order:
You're on the wrong user account. You shouldn't be logged in as Administrator (actually root, but Bill can't even get the name on that right) unless you're doing administrative work on the system.
You shouldn't put a protocol specifier on the hostname passed to ping or telnet. That it works at all is arguably a bug, since you're supposed to feed them hostnames or IP addresses, nor URIs.
Your tracert shows that the datagrams made it out of Qwest and into the network which serves smogon.com. I compared your traceroute to my own (which gets all the way and receives a response from smogon.com), and it looks like your hop #15 would be smogon.com if it had responded. I'm beginning to suspect that you have a personal router at 10.0.0.1 which has blacklisted smogon.com. Try power cycling your router to see if that has any effect. You may need to leave it off for a minute or more to really wipe its mind.
