Comment(by HaiColon):

 I just remembered that ping doesn't work from within a virtual machine
 (due to the bridged or NAT networking I guess, can't remember, it is
 explained in the VirtualBox manual). I can't remember now if I have tried
 pinging when I was using Haiku in VMWare or when I was using Haiku
 installed to harddisk, so maybe pinging just didn't work because of
 VMWare.

 The harddisk in the computer I had Haiku installed on is dead so I can't
 test it there but I'll make room on a partition on my other computer and
 try it out there.

 Additionally, I found out that Twitter.com also has problems in Haiku.
 Sometimes Haiku doesn't even connect (or rather, tries to connect for a
 long time, don't know if it ever timeouts), sometimes it downloads only
 part of the html source (or xml when using curl and the Twitter API),
 sometimes it downloads everything as it should.
