You can check this by telnetting to google.com

try this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ telnet google.com 80
Trying 72.14.207.99...
Connected to google.com (72.14.207.99).
Escape character is '^]'.


Once this prompt is available, issue the HTTP command "GET /" and press
enter. You will get the following output

GET /
<HTML><HEAD><meta http-equiv="content-type"
content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
<TITLE>302 Moved</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>
<H1>302 Moved</H1>
The document has moved
<A HREF="http://www.google.co.in/";>here</A>.
</BODY></HTML>
Connection closed by foreign host.

Not sure whether your sify blocks telnet also. Just give a try when you are
isolated from internet. If it works, then it is surely a browser problem.
