I have seen this problem before, some of them were solved by changing DNS of their network connection. But my problem not solved by doing this.

I have tried Google DNS, but I still have the same problem. I am unable able to access yahoo.com from my browser. What else can I do , I don't get it.

Please can someone suggest a way that I can get complete access. Thank you.

The only thing I am getting in my browser(Firefox) is waiting for yahoo.com

Ubuntu 13.04

BSNL Broadband -DSL Connection

    Please be more specific about your "problem" and "not able to access". What is the exact error you get: "Connection refused", "Connection timed out", "Unable to resolve",... etc. If you have read more of the DNS issues, then you've also seen how to debug it. Start to provide more information in your question. Include the output of commands like host yahoo.com, host yahoo.com 8.8.8.8, ping yahoo.com, curl -I yahoo.com and what happens if you open it with HTTPS directly. Also: do you have a proxy server configured? Do other devices on the network suffer from the same issue?

    Looks all okay you do not have any DNS issues. https://www.unifiedremote.com/ is indeed showing an invalid certificate - that's their fault. I think your issue is with Firefox. Have you tried another browser? And have you checked the connection settings? (disable proxy in Firefox).

    This only applies to the question if OP also uses PPPoE to establish an internet connection. And that information is not in the question at the moment.

  • DSL connection is possible here with PPPoE only and that package was pre installed. @gertvdijk +1 .
