DNS resolving to 1.0.0.0

I've had the most peculiar thing happened today at home. I think it's Karmic issue since I never had this problem before.

Well what happened was, I was unable to browse the internet (Firefox and Chrome both had problems but Opera worked fine). Pinging worked. Other Windows machines didn't have problems at all. Sudo apt-get update didn't worked because it was looking up 1.0.0.0 for every mirrors I tried. I tried this with Firefox at first:
In address bar, type in about:config, filter for ipv6. There should be only 1 listed - network.dns.disableIPv6. Double click to change the value to true. Problems solved for Firefox.

I continued googling around and did this:

#in /etc/resolv.conf, changed nameserver to those of streamyx
#previously it was 192.168.1.1 which points to my router
#Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 202.188.0.133



And now everything works again. Only that if I reboot it will change back to 192.168.1.1

    You may need to change the /etc/sysconfig/network entries. I woud prefer to use the OpenDNS IPs, 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

  2. All dsl modems can be configured to get nameservers. Check yr modem manual?

    Something is wrong with your DSL modem/router. Check which DNS server it points to when you are connected. Depending on make/model, you can force the IP address of the DNS server in the DSL modem/router
