A problem in accessing some sites using UBUNTU

[Loai Farajallah]

I do not use any proxy or firewall.
This is my personal laptop at home and I am connecting DIRECTLY to the UMAX
modem.

The strange thing that some times after some hours (without doing anything
to the system) these sites become available!!!
