So, if you edit /etc/resolv.conf from it's default:
-----------
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 192.168.1.254
-----------
to:
-----------
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 139.130.4.4    #Australian DNS server
-----------
You can now access the internet as usual. Very strange. (Thanks to caryb and 
ronacc for helping troubleshoot).

NOTE: this is a temporary fix since the next time you reboot or restart Network 
Manager, it reverts it to the 192.168.1.254 address

192.168.1.254 is the DNS address given by my dsl modem to my router. It
works fine in Intrepid, but not Jaunty. This needs more troubleshooting
to find the discrepancy. Also, why was ping working when resolv.conf
while other programs weren't?
