Dear list members,
i am trying to build a firewall. Up to now, everything is ok, except
for some http sites that cannot be shown.

I can ping world outside my private network, as also telnet, ssh, etc ...
This may be a long-shot, but I once had similar symptoms on a network
with a PPPoE DSL connection. Everything would work as I expected, but
certain web sites would just never load.
Try lowering the MTU on the PPPoE interface, it worked for me.
In /etc/ppp/ppp.conf:
set mtu max 1480
Try setting various values starting at 1480 and lowering the value
until the web page problem is fixed.
