If their DNS is hosed, there's not much you'll be able to do besides alert them to the problem. From there, it's all internal routing they'll have to muck about with. But it's worth a call.
One thing to do is open the command prompt (Start - Run - type "cmd" and hit ENTER) in Windows, and type "tracert www.gamefaqs.com" (w/out quotes) and see if you get a complete trace, or if it says it can't reach that site. Try this with the other sites you're having problems with.
If you're getting failed attempts using tracert, a quick tip before you call your isp -
open the command prompt, then type "tracert www.gamefaqs.com | \temp\trace.txt" and hit enter
This will create a text file in your c:\temp directory. If you open the text file, you'll see the trace it did. You can then email this to your ISP's support and that should help them pinpoint the problem.
