Why can't I connect to the Web Configurator?

You can remove the proxy server settings in your web browser.

Why is that i can ping to outside hosts, but not access Internet websites?

Check the DNS server settings on your PC. You should get the DNS servers settings from your ISP. If your PC is running a DHCP client, remove any DNS IP address setting. As the router will assign the DNS settings to the DHCP-client-enabled PC.
