Do other command line tools like ping work? It looks like your DNS setup
is correct but for some reason the GNOME setup isn't. Few things:

- Are you using NetworkManager? Is the 'networkmanager' USE flag
enabled? If so try going to Settings->Network->Wired->gear icon->IPv4
and see what the DNS settings are like.

- Also in Settings->Network, see if Network proxy is (mis)configured.
