There's a couple of weirdnesses here...

What's the 2323:: stuff doing here?  That's not a currentl assigned IPv6 
unicast address, and should not appear in a traceroute.  (Neither should 
2121:: for that matter).

That one is actually trying IPv4, not IPv6.

... and ipv6.google.com does not have an IPv4 address.

So you might need to do "ping -6" to convince your unnamed windows
version to query for an IPv6 address, or if it is WinXP, might need
to properly install IPv6 first (netsh ipv6 install, IIRC, but google
knows).

None of which is particularily related to *Cisco* or *NSP*, btw :-)
