Can't access google or related services?
 

So, I can no longer open google, or any of its related services. This is kind of a problem, because I can't open my gmail either.

This is what I've done so far:

1.) Switched the modem on and off
2.) Deleted my temporary internet files
3.) Did a dns flush
4.) Waited an hour
5.) When I try pinging it, it says "Ping request could not find host http://www.google.com
6.) When I try pinging one of googles specific IP addresses, it times out
7.) In the windows troubleshooter, the problem says "The DNS server isn't responding"

It's late at night so I haven't been able to contact my ISP yet, but what do you guys think?

This normally doesn't just happen out of the blue.
Did you adjust the settings of your modem? How long has it been going on? One evening?
Trace back your steps and see if anything useful comes up so we can at least narrow things down.

what country do you live in?

Does this possibly something to do with the current predicament?

I think you could try to use proxies to punch through the wall.
