[help] can not open web page http://www.books.com.tw

Hi,

My archlinux can not open web site http://www.books.com.tw
but any other sites are accessable.
I have upgraded my system to lastest version.
and no iptables installed.

how can I diagnose the problem?

[~:henry 14:00]$ wget -d http://www.books.com.tw

Besides, at the same time,
I can open the site from Windows running in my VirtualBox.
(network set as bridge mode, not NAT)

Can someone provide methods to find out the reason?
BR,
Henry

thanks.

[~:henry 14:44]$ yaourt -Qi firefox
Name           : firefox
Version        : 3.6.12-1

I have also tried starting firefox in save mode,
and also login as another account (as root, seldom used) but no luck.

well that's very strange. Maybe try a text mode browser, like elinks. It opens fine in elinks for me.

Also, try booting from the arch live cd, and then see the result of wget -d.

what strange is that
I can even open that site in IE in Windows running in my VirtualBox (network set as bridge mode)
but if set to NAT mode, it fails.

Maybe that site is blocking your ip or ip range? Try contacting their admins.

EDIT: Sorry, stupid advice. I didn't notice that you could access it using windows, so that rules out your ip being blocked.

Maybe you could try it from any other Linux system or live CD? Also, you didn't try to access it using arch live cd, as i had suggested before.
