I had the same problem as tomx
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-
manager/+bug/989900/comments/7) -- my /etc/resolve.conf had wrong values
in it that would not update no matter what I did. It is my
understanding that this file should update relative to the network I'm
on.
Without revealing sensitive information, the file had the following in it
domain {home domain value}
search {home search value}
nameserver {home nameserver value 1}
nameserver {home nameserver value 2}
nameserver {home nameserver value 3}
This was an appropriate configuration for connecting from my home
network.
However, for my office network it needed to be this:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
search {office search value}
Only after changing that by hand was I able to connect to the network.
Whatever is supposed to be updating that file is not doing so.

Title:
Various people have a bunch of unrelated problems with name resolution
in Ubuntu 12.04
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I just updated to Ubuntu 12.04.
After the update I cannot resolve hostnames reliably:
I use Konsole in Unity. There sometimes the DNS resolving works fine and
suddenly after two commands or so it fails for the same address.
E.g. I ping a machine without DNS-Suffix (the suffix is shown in my network
config correctly aside 3 valid nameserver IPs) and everything works fine. Then
I try to log into the machine with the same address via ssh and I get a "Name
or service not known".
Trying again, it works with a fully qualified name containing the suffix. I
also had cases, when the IP wasn't resolved although I put in the fully
qualified name. When I am more lucky, it starts working again with machine
names only (without suffix, which is configured and worked perfectly up to now)
Is there probably a bug in the new Ubuntu Version?
