I can only guess it has something to do with the wireless router which is a D-Link G604T, I currently have the firewall on the router and also Kubuntu disabled but still no luck.
The settings in the router are
I have it set as a dhcp server with dns mode set to auto Dns relay selection is set to "user discovered dns server only"
In the Wan section default route and Nat are enabled

Is the quad-dotted number in brackets after the URL supposed to be the IP address? If so it looks like DNS isn't working properly for you.

Have you added DNS servers to your /etc/resolv.conf file already?
