[yair hougui]

I am using direct connection to the internet. 
I also get similar behavior when trying (in firefox configuration) to use the proxy of my ISP

Hi Yair

Are you using a proxy or a direct connection to the net? You can get similar 
via some proxies as some will block certain sites and some sites will block 
certain ip ranges which a given proxy may fall into. If using a proxy, maybe 
worth trying another one
