Steam and Teamspeak not connecting, but internet in general is working fine?
So I logged on today, and realized Teamspeak was not connecting to the server I log on to every day. I had also realized Steam was having a tough time connecting to the internet, and I have no idea what's happening.
- I tried restarting my router with the expectation it would work, it didn't.
- I have no new antivirus programs
- Firewall was turned off for about 2 hours, I tried again and no result.
- Pinged Google.com, got an average approximate round trip time of 65 ms.
No errors were given when trying to connect to Steam or Teamspeak.
The funny thing about this is that all functions are carried out normally that require internet. Everything else that requires internet works just fine.
I have another machine (a laptop) that runs Teamspeak and Steam just fine, so I'm guessing it could be something to do with the connection specifically on my primary machine?
Edit (3/4/15): Tried using Windows troubleshooting and it couldn't identify that anything was wrong. I have absolutely no clue what to do.

Answer 2
I'd had the same issue:
I found out that a day before I logged in, my IP Address and Firewall level was set to high. Upon restarting, my modem the issue occurred. Changing the level back is what resolved it for me.
