Depends on what the block is. If part of a story is just not working, I try to concentrate on a different part of the story that is. If I'm just plain out of ideas, I curl up in a ball and whimper. ;)
The best way to break a block, tho, is to just keep working. Having trouble writing the prose? Spend some time making notes on plot. Having trouble with who does what when? Make a timeline of scenes.
Having two or three projects going at once is great for this. Sometimes you have to just put Book A down and start working on Book B for a while.
