The file /etc/resolv.conf contains the nameserver(s) to use for looking up names. If you can lookup names as root but not as a user I'd wonder if that file has had its permissions trashed. I'd expect you should see something like this: ls -l /etc/resolv.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 51 Nov 13 14:29 /etc/resolv.conf (That file should contain "nameserver 192.168.1.1" if that is indeed your working nameserver).
