Plain weird! 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....
