Couple of other things: does hostname lookup work? try host www.google.com
it should report a list of ip addresses associated with the hostname also, try a different nameserver like OpenDNS's: 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 Neither will really fix the problem, but may help you narrow it down and figure out what to google for.
