It appears your router is set to block all icmp traffic, that could
possibly be affecting linux as many functions use ICMP. It's also possible
that your DNS settings are different between windows and linux, this could
make a big difference if one of the dns servers isn't reachable or if icmp
is used to test if it's there.
