    What is the exact error you're getting, and who's your ISP?

    New antivirus software by any chance?

    New firewall?

    I'd say its as simple as going into your firewall or antivirus program and making sure they are allowed to connect to the internet.

    Firewall blocking the sites is the most likely cause. Check you firewalls blocked site or something similar in naming.

    Second thing I would recommend is to download SPYBOT SEARCH AND DESTROY and do a scan for viruses.

    Third, Do you have a local router? And if so was anyone messing around with it lately? Could have messed up some settings if they were or purposely blocked them to pi** you off.
