Can you run:

ping -c 4 www.bmezine.com
ping -c 4 38.99.130.182
cat /etc/resolv.conf

Thanks

If you can't paste from the site you can use this command instead:

ping -c 4 www.bmezine.com > ~/out3434.txt; ping -c 4 38.99.130.182 >> ~/out3434.txt; cat /etc/resolv.conf >> ~/out3434.txt

Then transfer the ~/out3434.txt to a removable device and use a system with a connection.

In terminal. Firefox will not take inputs like these as it is only a web browser

Looks like you are using some form of USB ADSL.

yes it is telstra wireless broadband. i am connected right now.

its like fire fox is not seeing the connection all the time, also update manager and ubuntu software center dont work, even when it has an established connection. it seems to be very random? i thought mabey network but it wouldnt even connect if there was a problem with telstra network?
