Have you tested pings to your providers servers IP addresses instead of to 
their domain names? If the IP addresses work and the domain names don't then 
the problem is DNS resolution. Check your resolv/resolv2 file(s) and verify 
the nameserver is working OK. 
Lastly, is your ISP even functioning today? Last Sunday, sprint trashed half 
of the east coast all day. Nothing got in or out and all local servers were 
hosed as well because of it. Had I been assuming the worst, I would have been 
beating my brains out trying to get reconnected to an ISP that can't see the 
rest of the net let alone anything else on it's local LAN. 
When it comes to a situation where it worked for months and then stops, 
assume the ISP screwed something up or broke their network. Then, once you 
eliminate that, check your setup. Of course if you just happened to be 
screwing with something, fix it back the way it was and then test it ;)
