I have a problem with my fresh instalation of Ubuntu 11.10. The problem happen when i start up my browser and accessing website such google, askubuntu.com, facebook and other sites. frustate on the situation i try watch the progress in system monitor. the result from monitor shows that there is no data transfer when i try to accessing the page. firstly, i assume that it is the trouble from my ISP or my home connection. But it is not. When i try pinging google it shows transaction between my computer and the network but still null from browser. Then i tried to test the aptitude and it was work fine but still the browser won't recieve any packet from the internet.

Here is the detail of my tools :

  1. Laptop : Toshiba Satellite e205 (network card atheros)
  2. Operating System : Ubuntu 11.04 dual booted with Win7
  3. Browser : Mozilla Firefox comes up with the Ubuntu 11.10 installation
  4. Chrome : Last version (just yesterday install it)

Thank You before :)
