This means that there is a problem with your connection. I just checked, it works here. Try setting up a proxy in Gnome config and then try again.

I thank you for your quick reply. I don't know what are you talking about!!!!
can you link me at some discussion where can I learn how to deal with this problem??
thanks

Go to System > Preferences > Network proxy. You can set up a proxy there (an inbetween connection of your PC to another server) so websites that inexplicably do not work where you live should start working.

As for finding a (HTTP) proxy server to use, that's up to you.

As for where you can discuss this stuff, try Ubuntu Forums.
