  • put the contents of /etc/resolv.conf in your question. BTW: it is not something simple as ping google not working, but ping google.com is working is it?

So many unknowns in this question. Try to get more information Like do you have the firewall turned on ? is it blocking port 53? try to see if you have a default route to it with traceroute which uses a udp packet and a unprivileged port

traceroute -4 -n 8.8.8.8

Should tell you something then to see if you have a tcp route to it which requires root privilege with

sudo traceroute -4 -n -T -p 53 8.8.8.8

One or both of these should tell you if your being blocked.

What is it that's failing ? if both the traceroutes work did you try nslookup with a third argument ?

nslookup google.com 8.8.8.8

if that works then you have to look at /etc/resolv.conf to see what your default nameserver is set to, sounds like it should have a line something like

nameserver 8.8.8.8

refer to man resolv.conf if it's not
