network problem on a dell machine

[William Xu <william.xwl@gmail.com>]

Hi, 

i've got a strange network problem on a dell machine with debian
sid. 

The problem is that i'm unable to connect to the internet
directly(execpt for google, weird..). ping, dns, traceroute, netstate
all look fine. 

Besides, by using http proxy through a neibourgh machine, it can connect
to the internet successfully.

any ideas on this? Thanks in advance.

some info:

The Vet Who Surprised A Cow
	In the course of his duties in August 1977, a Dutch veterinary
surgeon was required to treat an ailing cow.  To investigate its internal
gases he inserted a tube into that end of the animal not capable of facial
expression and struck a match.  The jet of flame set fire first to some
bales of hay and then to the whole farm causing damage estimate at L45,000.
The vet was later fined L140 for starting a fire in a manner surprising to
the magistrates.  The cow escaped with shock.
