Try running nslookup at the shell, and lookup www.aol.com or something.

You should get something like...

[root [at] paris ~]# nslookup
> www.aol.com
Server:         192.168.17.4
Address:        192.168.17.4#53

Non-authoritative answer:
www.aol.com     canonical name = www.gwww.aol.com.
Name:   www.gwww.aol.com
Address: 205.188.145.214

If this resolves pretty quickly, then its not likely a DNS issue.

If it is slow, then try running an nslookup but specifiyfying the IP 
address of your ISP's nameserver manually. I guess your Netgear 
router/modem is acting as a DNS resolver / cache if 192.168.0.1 is its 
IP address.

My ISP is PlusNet, so I ran....

[root [at] paris ~]# nslookup - 212.159.13.49
> www.aol.com
Server:         212.159.13.49
Address:        212.159.13.49#53

Non-authoritative answer:
www.aol.com     canonical name = www.gwww.aol.com.
Name:   www.gwww.aol.com
Address: 205.188.145.214
> exit
