Comment 23 for bug 258899

I don't think this is a duplicate of #238606. Please look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9450177#post9450177 for my issue, which sounds like this bug report, and the solution I found.

In short: change the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf to 8.8.8.8 instead of 192.168.1.1 and restart your network. Don't know why the problem came up or this is the solution. I just know it did not have anything to do with flash and that it works. But then again, maybe my problem was a different one...
