Is there anyway to see what routers my computer is connected to. I know it's connected to my isp but what does my isp connect to? I am hopeing for a program or a website that can tell me this information.

I think what your looking for is the tracert command. you can
do it in MSDOS
tracert 216.115.109.7

As far as see what routers is concerned...routers can be resolved
but they will not echo back route information. One of the ideas of
having routers is for security. They don't easily cough-up information
unless they are hacked on.

If this is just for your curiosity there is a great graphical traceroute
program (many users seem to enjoy using) called NeoTracePro
from NeoWorx.inc

Mcafee (a famous software company) recently acquired NeoWorx
and I'm sure there will be more developments on the programs.

There are also Software programs such as NeoTrace while will do the same thing, but it has nice fancy graphics & maps etc.
