Make sure that your DNS is working fine:

$ nslookup google.com

If not, change to Google's DNS and try again:

# echo "8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf
# echo "8.8.4.4" >> /etc/resolv.conf

i can access internet by proxy

You can make curl use HTTP proxy with:

$ curl -x proxyhost:port http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh

	Do you have Internet connection? `ping 8.8.8.8`? – quanta Oct 5 '11 at 4:54
