You are not receiving an answer from the ping pong servers, since this is not a recent issue for you, the most likely cause is some kind of firewall is filtering the outgoing or incoming packets.
Did you setup port forwarding in your router?
Try to ping the server with:

Code: Select all

ping pingpong1.factorio.com
In the command prompt (win+R -> cmd -> Enter).
