Rep:
I would say it is a DNS issue. Either on your providers side or you are using the wrong DNS values in /etc/resolv.conf. I would check on your ISP info about their DNS ips.

Enter your ISP homepage. It should list NS1.*******.*** and NS2. Then you can use the ping command to see the IP for these nameservers and use that in /etc/resolv.conf
