Unhappy unable to resolve domain names on FC7 x86


I am having some issues getting my network card set up correctly on my Fedora Core 7 x86 OS.

Currently, my network card is set to grab information via DHCP, and all of that works fine. I am getting an IP address and subnet mask, and the gateway works. I am able to ping google via it's IP address (64.233.167.99), but when I try to ping it's FQDN (ie, google.com) or if I try to browse to it using a web browser, it is unable to resolve the domain. Same with any other web site.

I originally had installed FC7 64 bit edition and I had the same problem. With that, I edited the /etc/resolv.conf file and added "nameserver 192.168.0.1" to it and that was enough to get everything up and running like it should be.

In my current installation, I checked out the /etc/resolv.conf file, and that line had already been added.

Any ideas on what it might be? Sorry I'm still a n00b

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

UPDATE:

So I went to my NIC and re-specified the primary domain name server to 192.168.0.1, and saved the configuration. I then deactivated and re-activated my NIC, and suddenly everything seems to work now... ??

Is this some soft of bug or am I just losing my mind?

Anyhow looks like I am up and running! I still may be interested in knowing what might cause a problem like this, if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them!
