    From Ireland, wait an hour or two and see if it still is not working, odds are a router somewhere. You can sometimes even do a traceroute to a place like Google, then Digg and see if they break at the same point confirming a router issue. At least your still here :)

    can you hook your modem directly to the modem instead of your router to determine if the router may be configured wrong?

    no don't do that, im sorry was thinking no connection.
    Try this in command line
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    ipconfig /flushdns
    netsh winsock reset
    then reboot

    That happened me once, coincidentally I'm in Ireland too, but it came back on after I restarted the router.
