I am using Etch myself so I was surprised at this problem. Dig was working instantly. Same with pinging google's ips. Ftp downloads in terminal took place in a jiffy. It was the http connections that failed. I feel it was some security policy bug that prevented http.
I can understand why you feel this way but if it was a security policy then it would either completely allow or prevent. In your case you could open Google. Anyway, try disconnecting the USB connection and keeping only the ethernet connection connected directly with the Debian machine. Let me know the result.
Debian has been removed out and Kubuntu has taken its place. Everything is running smoothly even with the other USB connection. One reason I feel is that the adsl is pushing all http return packets to both machines and Etch thought it was a security problem and clammed up. Just guessing....
