This seems like normal behavior to me. If by "cut myself to the
internet", you mean physical disconnection (or all ports blocked), then
how would ping receive a reply from google.com? You may be able to make
DNS lookup requests, with dig or nslookup, but ping requires an actual
connection to the address being queried, which it seems to be
disconnected for you (dialup?).
