Hi guys I have been using lunix mint for 1 month, browsing internet quite a lot without any problem but sudenly I found that can't access those websites: www.acra.gov.sg and www.customs.gov.sg I tried to off all the internet application and access the website but it did not help. What can prevent from going this website, can it be some virus or what else? How to fix it.
I can browse the website using webproxy without any issues but I am still very curious what can't connect directly from linux mint machine.
I'm not sure I get your point. You are accessing the web via a webproxy? Have you tried accessing those sites without using proxies? If you're saying that you can only see them through proxies, I don't know what to say. Here on Slackware I was able to open them both.

I live in Singapore, using windows computer and same internet provider I can see the website fine also, using lunix mint XFCE I get message
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Sorry, I did say that wrong. I should have said dig or nslookup to the FQDN. (fully qualified domain name) then use the IP address returned (if returned)
So what does 160.96.1.173 do when you put it into a brower address line?
