Hi David,

Thanks for the tips !

I was so hoping that the problem would not be a firewall in Singapore. I 
do know for a fact that traffic into and out of Singapore goes through 
many, many firewalls at the ISP end, and sometimes they get 
misconfigured, and the DNS also frequently gets misconfigured (which is 
why I run a local caching service on my notebook), but I was so hoping 
that this was not the problem, because there is absolutely nothing I can 
do about it.
