Problem I have never seen before - A challenge for the experts (Plz help!)

Ok, I have built PC's for years and now I have encountered a problem I cannot solve. Get this:

I cannot connect to ANY online games. Including UT2k3 and 4 (demo), Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, RTCW, ET, and COD. There is NO response from the master server. Also my All Seeing Eye is not finding anything, all pinging 9999's.

I have not installed anything but KOTOR which is a single. All the of the master servers for these games cannot be down at once. I have restarted my cable modem 10 times, rebooted, disabled and reenabled the network card in windows. I can browse the net with IE, open ITunes and anything else that requires an internet connection EXCEPT online games. Is this even possible?

Thoughts?

Linksys BEFW11S4
Using Toshiba Cable modem from my cable company
Tiny Personal Firewall

Mind you this was working TWO NIGHTS ago. I find it hard to belive that the internet can still work and ONLY online games can somehow not work. I've scanned with Ad Aware, SpyBot, and AVG Anti-Virus. No problems found. I disabled the Firewall. No joy.

Try this if you haven't already on the router put in dmz mode is use disable tiny and see if you could connect.

Well I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that. I'm still searching for answers.

first goto start menu run type cmd in the command prompt type ipconfig/all write down what it sads for ip adress

then goto 192.168.1.1 in ur browser login and goto advanced and dmz host use the last three digits of ur adress so if you have an adress of 192.168.1.100 put 100 in the dmz host hit ok and see if you could connect to server.

Tried that too. Did not work. Just reinstalled windows. Still doesn't work.

This has got to be the oddest problem I have ever encountered with PC's ever.
