In your network settings, you should be getting an IP address from DHCP and DNS server addresses from the DHCP server. Delete any DNS server addresses you added, then save the changes.

Then your DHCP server -- most likely, your router -- is misconfigured. It should be set up to push its own IP address out to the clients as a DNS proxy.

But make sure that when you delete the server addresses in the network settings, save the changes, and then renew the DHCP lease, the address of the server doesn't automatically populate the primary DNS slot.
