This isn't a publicly routable IP address, so it's most likely either the
router or the DSL modem acting as a DNS forwarder. This device likely has a
web interface - find its status page and see what DNS server it is using.
You could also try manually replacing the "192.168.1.1" in /etc/resolv.conf
with the DNS server address from the status page. If everything starts
working fine, then whatever device is at 192.168.1.1 is likely the problem.
Also, please quote the prior messages in the thread when replying (as you
see done here and in antgel's replies). This makes the discussion much
easier to both follow and reply to.
