[ubuntu-in] help with BSNL Broadband Connection

[Ramnarayan.K]

Hi

Am on a BSNL broadband connection , and for the past few days a strange
issue is occurring

The internet is connected but only google sites and a few others work.

Some that seem to work are irctc.co.in. indianrail.gov.in
icici.com. onlinesbi.com. thehoot.org. (many banks sites work, government
websites seem to work )


however a whole range of sites don't work - like
www.lxer.com, bbc.co.uk , espncricinfo.com
ubuntu.com . linuxmint.com

seems like sites that are non work (news, entertainment, general info) are
not working - with some exceptions - like www.hoot.org

Google search works and when i try and access a link from the search
results the website simply does not load.

Ubuntu repos are not accessible and i cannot update or install.

Am not sure what the issue is and how to "resolv" it.


The modem is
   Zte Zxdsl 531B wifi modem, in which the wifi part is turned off.
(instead the wifi is served by a linksys wrt router) . However even the
wifi service from the ZXDSL modem turned on, the issue

Tried changing the resolv.conf to use opendns and google dns to see if the
problem went away - but am not sure the the dns were placed in the right
place

there should have been a resolv.conf in /etc/

but instead i had it in /etc/ppp/resolv.conf
I changed it here but am not sure its working, or how to verify what my
current dns nameservers are

***
So does any one know what's happening and how to resolve this.



thanks
