Wifi connected but no internet access (Lubuntu 14.04)

I have both wifi and lan connection to my pc, the wifi has internet and the lan connects me to other pc's on the home network.

If I unplug/disconnect the lan, the internet works, but when both wifi and lan are connected the internet works momentarily and then disconnects. I cannot open any website, even ping does not work here, for example "ping google.com" gives:

ping: unknown host google.com

But I can ping the ip's on the internet, for example "ping 8.8.8.8" gives follows:

PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=56 time=110 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=2 ttl=56 time=98.4 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=3 ttl=56 time=101 ms ^C --- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2002ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 98.492/103.462/110.263/4.983 ms

sudo nano /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail Added nameserver 8.8.8.8 sudo service network-manager restart

Still doesnt works.

Please note one correction on subject line, should be Lubuntu 14.04 instead of Ubuntu 14.04

cat /etc/resolv.conf

Followed the instructions given in the url nameserver 127.0.1.1 in resolv.conf won't go away! and commented dns=dnsmasq in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and its working now

I had the same problem. Solved by going into System Tools > Network. On the DNS tab I noticed a 172.* server I don't recognize. I replaced it with 8.8.8.8 and everything worked fine.

If you can ping an IP, but can't access a domain, that sounds like a problem with your DNS server. Try nslookup google.com to see if DNS lookup works. If not, try changing your DNS server to 8.8.8.8 (Google's Public DNS).
