That may indicate a problem with your DNS.
Instead of using those detection links open a command window
and enter a tracert command. (Press Ctrl-c to cancel the output
because you are just using it to verify that the lookup is working.)
Sometimes even that won't work but then you will have a clue
about what the real problem is. Depending on the site, its domain
name may have an address which is easier to find; so try using
tracert with that name (e.g. the web site name without the www. prefix).
Sometimes that will make lookup for the web site name finally work;
so go back and test the web site name again after that.
Unfortunately your OS does not have an nslookup command;
otherwise you could use it for even better tests.

Good luck
