The work around for this is easy. Simply edit /etc/resolv.conf so your DNS lookup server is present. Check it out...
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf # Generated by NetworkManager OH LOOK IT'S BLANK. :/ I guess let's add our DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf: $ sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf $ cat /etc/resolv.conf # Generated by NetworkManager #Using my router's IP, but OpenDNS is also a good choice nameserver 192.168.1.1 $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart $ ping google.com PING google.com (64.233.187.99) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from jc-in-f99.google.com (64.233.187.99): icmp_seq=1 ttl=241 time=38.0 ms Oh look it works now. Hey guys? Why won't Network-manager's GUI allow me to write to /etc/resolv.conf? It should prompt for sudo access when I specify to add a DNS server. I've uninstalled Network-manager and using wicd now. MUCH MUCH better. Any plans to use/support wicd in place of Network-manager since Network-manager has been thoroughly buggy ever since it's been included in Ubuntu's releases? It would be a welcome reprieve.
