To check if you have a DNS problem, type e.g 'host kernel.org' in a terminal and post the results.

Same here, so this doesn't look like a name resolution problem.

May be this is related to some Firefox setting then. Did you try another internet browser (seamonkey, konqueror, opera, galeon, links, lynx, epiphany, whatever)?

ok.. i will install other browser and try to connect

Besides posting your distro and version, can you ping google.com from the command line?
