Problem on iMac. Cannot open links for the most part with the exception of blogspot.com. Using Chrome and Firefox. Problem surfaced when changed from AT&T DSL to UVerse HSI. Error message is "No data received." "Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data.
What Mac do you have, with what version of OS X?
Thanks Klaus - IMAC, Model ID - iMAC 8.1, running on OS X 10.6.8.
Do you also know if 10.6.8 has a reset feature to an earlier date, similar to Microsoft? This takes you back to an earlier configuration where the problem did not exist.
I'd clear out browser caches. Could be bad dns reference.
Seems to be you have some carry-over from your old isp. Some how the older 'plumbing' is interfering with your new isp.
Some hammering and ax chopping is needed. Not sure where to guess. At last resort, call new isp.

If pinging 17.254.3.183 works but pinging Google.com doesn't. You have a bad DNS Server address.
I use Google.
Google provides free dns lookup. Their numbers are:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
no data received. unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data
