The problem I am facing is that while I open a link in my browser it loads quickly but whenever I try using the link in terminal with for e.g. curl -0 www.google.com or wget www.google.com , both of them says

     unable to resolve host address `www.google.com'

I have already crossed checked the url if I have done any sort of mistake while writing the url but everything is correct.

Can any one tell what the problem is?

    This is a guess: Do you have a proxy enabled? Please research how to obtain this information for your browser.
