Could you please show me your /etc/network/interfaces? Have you configured the static configuration vi /e/n/i or the nm-connection-editor, i.e. a keyfile connection. If you want to pass dns info to NM and you are using /e/n/i, you should use a dns-nameservers and dns-search stanza (see the resolvconf man page). If you are using the keyfile plugin, you have to configure a dns server via nm-connection-editor under IPv4-Settings.
