The fact that you can browse the Internet with IP addresses but not
with names does indeed suggest a DNS problem. Please post the actual
server IPs rather than masking them.

No. If at all you need to add the line, it should be PEERDNS=yes.

It could be that you filled up your file system so badly that dhcpcd
could not update your resolv.conf file due to lack of space or inodes.
Check df and df -i, and look for 100% utilization.

As you can see above, your eth0 also has an IPv6 address. That is
where the ipv6 module is being used.  Try putting NETWORKING_IPV6=no
in your ifcfg-eth0 file.

Some additional info is needed. Send the output of:

1. traceroute -n 64.233.161.104
2. dig www.google.com
3. cat /etc/resolv.conf (without masking)
4. dig @4.2.2.1 www.google.com
