network timeout, can't figure out why.

I have a problem that my network time out. I first encoutered this when i tried to use the oauth functionality that i program for my web app and it timed out.

I tried to wget google and it timed out too:

wget google.com        
--2014-07-11 23:35:42--  http://google.com/
Resolving google.com (google.com)... 2607:f8b0:4000:801::1007, 74.125.227.132, 74.125.227.129, ...

I did a ping and it worked:

 ping -c4 www.boingboing.com
PING www.boingboing.net (204.11.50.136) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from www.boingboing.net (204.11.50.136): icmp_seq=1 ttl=245 time=30.3 ms

64 bytes from www.boingboing.net (204.11.50.136): icmp_seq=4 ttl=245 time=30.3 ms

Also, my website works and the ssh connection works.

I really don't know wat is happening.

Thanks in advance for your kind help and time.

Re: network timeout, can't figure out why.

Based on the pasted output of wget, it is trying to connect to IPv6 of google.com (which leads to timeout) and then it tries the IPv4 which succeeds.
I guess you do not have IPv6 connectivity. You can disable it as shown here.
