as I said before, I know naught of these things here, so help a bit and maybe I can help more. What do you mean by use TCP for itself? if its routing tcp traffic, you should be done? I know, I know, wget doesn't work etc. ummm...
just for shits and giggles, what's your /etc/resolv.conf say?
cat /etc/resolv.conf
and how about cat /etc/network/ifaces?
shots in the dark.
fwiw, once you get it done, it will "just work", really....
