Why shall it be possible to access the net from the webserver? Is it not
sufficient if the webserver respond to HTTP request from the net? Or
does even that not work? Then you have a wrong setup with your
firewall/router.

ping is not the mighty master tool for everything. Primary name
resolution uses UDP, not TCP, nor ICMP like ping.

Then ICMP traffic is allowed and routed, all other at least partly
blocked.

Check the output of "route", check the firewalling/port forwarding rules
on the firewall/router, be sure the NIC, the cable and the switch port
are ok (no errors in the output of ifconfig).
