In order to ensure that the problem has nothing to do with the forwarding nameserver dnsmasq, please disable dnsmasq.
1. Assuming that you are running Ubuntu 12.04 and NetworkManager and that NetworkManager is controlling your dnsmasq process, please edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
and comment out the line "dns=dnsmasq"
then save the file and restart network-manager.
Code:
sudo restart network-manager
2. It is also possible that you have the standalone dnsmasq server package (called "dnsmasq") installed. If so then please remove it or disable it.
After you have disabled dnsmasq you should see an external nameserver address in resolv.conf instead of a loopback nameserver address.
Code:
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 12.34.56.78
If this is not the case, try rebooting.
