Hello
I can't open Facebook on any browser using Ubuntu 12.04. All other sites are fine except Facebook. Also everything is ok when I try to open Facebook from Windows. Any help?

Can you ping to Facebook from a terminal window?

Run at terminal:

ping facebook.com

What happens when you try to access the site?
What browsers have you tried?
