Wireless Internet – Can’t Browse Internet but Ping Works

14.04internetwireless

I am using a dell latitude E5440 with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. The WiFi suddenly stopped working today.

I tried pinging a few ip addresses and ping works fine, but pinging any URL does not.

Seems to be a DNS issue, but I didn't touch anything like that. What is wrong here?

Thanks to zacharee1, had to release and renew ip addresses. Also had to flush ip addresses :

sudo ip link set wlan0 down 
sudo ip addr flush wlan0 
sudo ip link set wlan0 up
sudo dhclient -r
sudo dhclient
