It's usually going to be your local network, so try your local admin. If it's not, then wait a little while; TCP/IP is designed to be self-healing, so many problems will sort themselves out in a short time (could be two minutes). Some problems require human intervention, and may take all day. If it is not your LAN, then talk to your upstream. They can usually sort things out.
