Hostname resolving extremely temperamental, driving me insane! (Mint 17)
Ive been having issues with resolving host names for the past few days. Sometimes it works, sometimes it hangs on waiting for the page to resolve, im at wits ends as to what to do.
This is my connection information:

Here are the DNS settings for my router:

These are the results of me pinging my DNS server as well as google:

I have no idea what to do, sometimes the internet works, sometimes it doesn't. Ive tried the guide posted here: But it doesnt help at all.

I guarantee google is not at 127.0.1.1. It looks like you need to fill in the DNS fields on the router with your ISP's DNS information to tell it where to resolve addresses.

Steak1987,
If you want all of your local PC's using the same DNS servers, 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4, why not put them in the DNS server sttings of the router? This allows the router to automatically set the DNS server settings of the PC when the rest of the network inforamtion is set. You have the check set to Use router as DNS server, so it is at least TRYING to set your DNS servers on the local PC as 192.168.1.254, and you are appearantly overwriting that using the dhcp.d config files. I would either UNCHECK Use router as DNS server or leave it checked and add the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 into the DHSP server settings underneath the checkbox.

Try a different DNS server like openDNS. I've had problems with the ISP's DNS servers.

Ive tried using this tool:
https://code.google.com/p/namebench/
And replaces my router DNS settings with a DNS server close to me. Lets hope this solves my DNS issues. Thanks all you guys for your time though. Ill mark this as solved, and if more issues pop up, ill open another thread.
