@DaveQB: I ran through the checks you walked through, and my /etc/dnsmasq.conf was good after the update and didn't need the changes you indicated, so I tried the above solution.
Cool, no worries.

I think the best way to troubleshoot this is to:

Code:
nslookup google.com
It should say something about using 127.0.0.1 and return an IP address.

If not, put into /etc/resolv.conf

Code:
nameserver 4.2.2.1
And try again.
Code:
nslookup google.com
It should resolve then there is definitely a dns look up issue with your resolv files. What could be unique to each, depending on what files you edited by hand and what files were edited by apps from extra etc..
