    Disconnect power from both your modem and router, wait 30 seconds then reconnect everything.

    After that, the problem should be solved.

    can you ping 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 or whatever the default gate way your router has?

    This sounds like there's a problem with the settings on your router not forwarding specific DNS addresses.

    If pinging your router does not time out, I suggest resetting the router by pressing the reset swtich on the back of the router. Then Disconnect power for both router and modem and restart them again.

    hm.. that's weird.. then

    It's probably your ISP's fault then.

    Try using this proxy: http://www.modemparty.com/
    and go to the site's that are inaccessible.

    Call your ISP to fix it for you.
