My computer is not loading some websites. I've already done the following...

  1. Disabled IPV6 ...By editing the file /etc/default/grub and changing GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1 quiet splash"
  2. Changed default DNS to Google Public DNS

I have Ubuntu Precise 12.04
eg site. ubuntuforums.org/
UPDATE1: It is successfully pinging ubuntuforums.org and both Google DNS Servers(8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4-USED Network Tools (Ubuntu Default)!
UPDATE2: Result for wget http://ubuntuforums.org/ was as follows

Could you include some non-sensitive sites in your question, so that we can test? – lgarzo Apr 29 '12 at 7:58

Have you tried pinging the domains? Have you tried pinging Google DNS' IP address? When you say 'not loading', what message are you getting in the browser? – Shah Apr 29 '12 at 8:06
@MizukiOshiro Google DNS has IPv4 address of ubuntuforums.org , just tested – warl0ck Apr 29 '12 at 8:09

Update Ubuntu, Chrome, Firefox and install latest flash version. I faced similar issue, now it is fixed.

This does not really answer the question. If you have a different question, you can ask it by clicking Ask Question. You can also add a bounty to draw more attention to this question. – Stephen Myall Aug 14 '12 at 8:53
@StephenMyall This provides specific instructions for fixing the problem. I doubt they would work, but this is definitely a concrete attempt to answer the question. This is not an attempt to ask for help, as it seems you have interpreted it. – Eliah Kagan Aug 14 '12 at 11:31

@StephenMyall "You can't do it" answers are still answers. This is not a very good answer, but it is still an answer. – Eliah Kagan Aug 14 '12 at 11:31
