As you can see from the picture above, I am connected to google DNS but am unable to resolve any hostnames. When I try to ping sites like google.com, yahoo.com, etc, I get 'ping: unknown host'.

Yes, I am able to ping localhost, I am able to ping hostname.domain.com, but not domain.com.
I can't ping my nameservers. I can ping all hosts by IP address and that works. The output of my /etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Anyone know what the problem could be?

  • Have you taken a packet capture?

Found the problem within an interface configuration file. There were no other DNS entries besides localhost.
