  1. Make sure that your DNS is working fine:

    $ nslookup google.com

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

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