FWIW, you can test www using telnet:

% telnet www.netbsd.org 80

then, assuming you get connected, type:

HEAD / HTTP/1.0

and ENTER twice.

Sounds like there is more going on here then we have information to help
with.  I'd suggest booting into Windows, since that works, and running the
command "route print" (I think that's what it is), and possibly other
commands (from DOS prompt) that show how the network is configured.  Then
boot into NetBSD and run "netstat -rn -f inet" and compare.  If the problem
isn't obvious at that point, you might wish to repost with this new
information.  However, I'd advise that you post futher help requests on
this topic to "netbsd-help@netbsd.org".

Good luck,
