Try changing your DNS and see if it works.

You can use these :

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

where can i change

Go to network connections and double click the connection that is active and then in the new window double click on TCP/IP settings and you should get another window where the bottom two fields are for DNS.
You can enter these DNS entries there and click on apply/OK whatever it says.

problem still persisting

Are you able to ping the sites which are not opening.?

OS windows 7: Modem WA3002-g4 wifi router.
Recheck modem settings/access control page.

OR
TEST:
Open TinyURL.com - shorten that long URL into a tiny URL
Post the website address with *.com
Reenter shortened Ip address.
see whether you can connect.

how can i know...i have no idea about how to ping

Open command prompt and give the address which you are not able to open and enter, check out whats the result.

i have changed nothing upto now.........but now suddenly i can able to open all websites..
what could be the problem?

I also suggest in addition to check the browser's security settings. If they are tighter, perhaps some sites are blocked. I generally try to keep Medium, medium-low and LOW for the three settings in IE8.

Well! yeah.....Its happening to me (and to my frnds in my area) these days!

I can open Timesofindia and some others

but Yahoo and many more are not.

Consult Dr TCP.
DRTCP: How do I use it, & what are all these settings?

it could be some server problem!

or dns servers!

try
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Open DNS = 208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Explained here with screen shots

http://www.indiabroadband.net/broadb...nectivity.html (How to repair - Limited or No connectivity)

If you are in bridge mode, then you also need to set up manual DNS in bridge dial connection.
If in always on mode, then do as 'admin' suggested & then open 168.192.1.1 modem configuration page.
Look for DNS entries there. Delete if any & set the mode 'select automatically' or any equivalent to this as per your modem model.
One think for sure that this prpblem is due to your default BSNL DNS addresses. They suck while looking for .com pages.
When I came across Google public DNS, I immediately configured my connection with them. My browsing speed is noticeably increased. Try it.

Address: 8.8.8.8 &
8.8.4.4


Download this tool.
grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

Run with your default DNS servers. Check whether where your DNS server address stands in terms of speed calculating .com/cached/uncached lookup time with respect to other DNS alternatives available.

In my case, google DNS comes at first place, then some other public DNS addresses & at the last or second last place, it comes BSNL's DNS addresses.

so people from our area might be suffering this problem.

Sorry to note , Your attitude to resign to your Fate !
and blaming BSNL in some towns in your District.

When you get BB connection you MUST access all
websites, like millions of other BSNL Broadband users.
