Safari browser error "safari cant open the page http://www.google.co.uk/ because where the page this server is located isn't responding"

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8 osx and now have the following error when trying to access some websites the error is "safari cant open the page http://www.google.co.uk/ because where the page this server is located isn't responding" I have only had this error since i upgraded to Mountain Lion via the app store on Thursday 25th July 2012.

Some websites seem ok but others will not load and eventually time out and get the above message about the server not responding

I have search on the internet checked proxies, clear DNS cache but no luck

Does anyone have the same problem with a fix?

I have a macbook pro icore 5 and I was running Lion prior to the upgrade, any help would be appreciated

iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.3, Via Macbook Pro

This procedure has been also successful on Yosemite (and Tor was able to browse what Safari could not).

Just for testing purposes, I tried to select back the Automatic profile, trying to renew the DHCP lease there. Nothing.

In my case this problem began to happen right after I have uninstalled

Glimmer Blocker. Its setting pane, when clicked, was giving an odd error. Then the Ad Block was first thing I ran to disable, but it was not helpful.

Anyway I am so happy you gave me the solution, many thanks!
