quote from first mail:
<-------------------------------------------------------
The problem is that i'm unable to connect to the internet
directly (execpt for google, weird..)
------------------------------------------------------->

so it seems to be a more browser related problem.
I would try to disable ipv6 in the browser and then check again.


In case of firefox aka iceweasle try this:
user_pref("network.dns.disableIPv6", true);


In case of konqi add this to /etc/environment:
KDE_NO_IPV6=1


you have to restart FF afterwards


let us know what´s going on
