Cannot access websites

Today I cannot access websites like google, yahoo and lycos with firefox. However when I ping www.google.com, there is 0% packet loss. I did notice though that the website being pinged is www.l.google.com. (notice the extra 'l'?) So I entered this web address in firefox, and I can access google again. Strange, isn't it? The same with yahoo. Address entered is www.yahoo.com, but address being pinged is www.yahoo-ht2.akadns.net. And again, I can use yahoo by entering the second address in firefox.
