The interesting thing is that I just connected this morning (in my timezone in Western Australia) and tried to ping somewhere, and it's working again! I'm starting to wonder now whether it *is* my ISP, because I can't understand why I would be having a problem like this that would spontanteously appear and then fix itself overnight. I think I'll send them an email next time it happens. Thanks for your help, though, and anyone else who replied.
