Connection times out for wget and npm and so on

Question

I just installed a Ubuntu 22.04 on my computer. It has not worked very good so far. For some reason it is very slow with installing packages and commands like:

wget http://google.com times out all the time.

I also have constant problem with npm: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74736078/npm-install-takes-forever-says-i-am-behind-a-proxy

When I run wget http://google.com on my Mac I get an instant response. The only difference is that my Ubuntu computer is connected through a wire.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?
