don't draw quick conclusions.

there's a reason the default nameserver of the N900 is itself - it's running dnsmasq to cache lookups locally, which is actually A Good Thing on a device that can constantly change connections - f.ex. your ISP's nameservers probably won't do you much good on a public WLAN.

now, why the dnsmasq on your device doesn't work properly is a whole other story :)

edit:
Rob1n has already posted instructions in this thread on how to best set custom nameservers.

Yes, that's why I have added a public DNS server (google) to resolv.conf. I have not removed the first nameserver (127.0.0.1). Then, if it fails, it goes to google's DNS (8.8.8.8) which should work for any ISP and connection.

I'll look for more info about dnsmasq.

If adding to that file a DNS server from my ISP solves the problem (or an open DNS server), then I cannot be sure about who is responsible. Can you?
So you have the same ISP on N900 and your PC?

127.0.0.1 should not be the problem since I have that one in my
resolv.conf too and no problems going to internet.

Although I do not use the same ISP on PC and N900.
