Problem with installing snap installations in Ubuntu 16.04

I successfully installed snapd through synaptic package manager and now trying to install apps through snap. I encountered following message -

root@internet-user:/home/internet-user# snap list
No snaps are installed yet. Try 'snap install hello-world'.
root@internet-user:/home/internet-user# snap install hello-world
error: cannot install "hello-world": Post
https://api.snapcraft.io/v2/snaps/refresh: dial tcp: lookup

Please suggest a possible solution. Thank You.

I know this sounds too simple a solution, but try restarting your computer and having another go.
