I think there's something messed up with my internet connection. I can still use my browser and go on AIM no problem, but for some reason since last tuesday I can't connect to any game servers, or download torrents.

How do you connect to internet? Dialup? ADSL? Cable? Are you on a LAN? Connecting through a router? When did this change in behaviour happen? Have you installed any new hardware/software recently? Have you had any recent updates? Have you done virus/spyware scans? What programs if any do you use for AV/Antispyware? Are you behind a firewall?
I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.
