Could be a dns problem. Try ping'ing a known IP address from a terminal
window. www.ubuntu.com translates to 82.211.81.166, so try:

	ping 82.211.81.166

If that works, then try:

	ping www.ubuntu.com

and if that doesn't work you have a dns problem. Check out contents of
/etc/resolv.conf and then see if the addresses of the name servers are
reachable via ping.

Regards,
Tony.
