Solution (maybe)

1. go to c:/windows/
system32/drivers/etc
2. open host file in notepad
3. Find the next 2 lines at the
file and delete them (if they are there):
127.0.0.1
www.minecraft.net
127.0.0.1 minecraft.net
4. save the file (make sure it
doesnt save as .txt.)

System Restore your computer to the day BEFORE it started doing that.

Strange...

Well, for the record, I am in Australia and as many of the users on World of Minecraft: Realms know, I am a daily user.
Triddin and H4X are also from Australia, so this confirms that we are not banned from Aus.

Try posting a screenshot of the problem as that will help us to visualise what we're dealing with.
