Please try Open DNS



Local area connection > properties > TCP/IP > Properties > DNS

Select the manual input option and enter these values. Try after saving the DNS. Your current DNS value is BSNL DNS and it shows similar problems at times.

You can always revert to your present state by selecting the automatic option.

The DNS you were using all this while must have been down or something... its best to use open dns.

It was not your fault. This has been a common issue with BSNL DNS numbers. As meetdilip showed you, keep using the new settings and you will not have this kind of issue in the future.
