5 | resolv.conf is -rw-r--r-- so that's not the issue..

7 | I noticed that ping works for about every ip i've tried, but TCP
8 | connexions don't. why could that happen? I can browse my local webserver
9 | however...

11 I'm not entirely clear on this, so just for clarification:
12 Have You just pinged IP addresses or IPs AND domain names as well?
13
14 You pinged the address 216.239.37.99, but does it work when you ping the
15 corresponding domain name, ie va-in-f99.google.com, or any other domain
16 name?
17
18 If not it is clearly a problem with DNS not resolving properly, so check
19 your network configuration (/etc/conf.d/net.eth0 or whatever your file
20 is called)! Also read the example file in the same directory - it's full
21 of valuable info on how to set up your network config.
22
23 (If DNS resolution does work, it could also be a mockup with your
24 firewall rules. Maybe outgoing TCP is rejected or dropped, for some
25 reason. In all fairness, this shouldn't be happening unless you have
26 changed any rules. It's a more of an extreme possibility.)
