if you can open the page http://82.105.36.210/ and not http://www.elart.it is a DNS issue... so please try:

Ubuntu 8.10 DNS dont' works

Migth be related to this bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/279262

As a workaround please try to set OpenDns dns server https://www.opendns.com/smb/start/
into your resolv.conf and lock it:

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:
(when the system ask you a password give your user password, you will not see nothing when you type it, then press enter)

sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf

add this rows as first DNS server (you can also put your provider DNS instead of OpenDNS servers)

nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

save and exit

Then to avoid other modification from other program, lock your resolv.conf, still sing terminal type:

sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

Then try... if still this doesn't works please rebbot your pc, and try again.

Hope this helps

That worked for me as well. I added my own dns and locked the file. It worked immediately, I didnt need to restart.
Thanks!
