Del was asking me about this as well, but I suffered no interweb oddness last night at all. Wrexford must be immune

The best way to spot a problematic DNS is when you've got steam or msn open and can talk to people on the internet fine, but then when you try to view a website it won't connect. That means your DNS has failed whilst you're on the net.. applications that are already connected can work fine but new connections can't make the DNS resolution they need.

I was logged into steam and could see my Friends list and who was playing, but say on the Community page, I was getting a "web page not found" error, which was what it was like in my internet browser too.
Damned Haxxors!

Same problem as Advent, Lazy. OpenDNS cured his troubles.
