You can check if a dns is working for you with, for example:
nslookup slashdot.org 8.8.8.8
Find out the name of your network connection and the current dns server with:
C:\Users\Administrator> netsh interface ipv4 show dnsservers
Configuration for interface "Ethernet"
DNS servers configured through DHCP: 192.168.1.1
Register with which suffix: Primary only
Configuration for interface "Wi-Fi"
DNS servers configured through DHCP: 8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
Register with which suffix: Primary only
Now change the dns server for the "Ethernet" interface:
netsh interface ipv4 set dnsservers "Ethernet" static 8.8.8.8
Eventually add several servers:
netsh interface ipv4 add dnsservers "Ethernet" 8.8.8.8 index=1
netsh interface ipv4 add dnsservers "Ethernet" 8.8.4.4 index=2
netsh interface ipv4 add dnsservers "Ethernet" 192.168.1.1 index=3
Should you restore your default/router settings:
netsh interface ipv4 set dnsservers "Ethernet" dhcp
You can list interface and dns servers with:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Get-DnsClientServerAddress
InterfaceAlias Interface Address ServerAddresses
Index Family
-------------- --------- ------- ---------------
Local Area Connection* 2 7 IPv4 {}
Local Area Connection* 2 7 IPv6 {fec0:0:0:ffff::1, fec0:0:0:ffff::2, fec0:0:0:ffff::3}
Ethernet 3 IPv4 {192.168.1.1}
Ethernet 3 IPv6 {}
Wi-Fi 4 IPv4 {8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4}
Wi-Fi 4 IPv6 {}

Local Area Connection* 4 6 IPv4 {}
Local Area Connection* 4 6 IPv6 {}
isatap.home 5 IPv4 {192.168.1.1}
isatap.home 5 IPv6 {}
Now set the dns servers for the "Ethernet" interface:
Set-DnsClientServerAddress "Ethernet" -ServerAddresses ("8.8.8.8","8.8.4.4", "192.168.1.1")
Should you restore your default/router settings:
Set-DnsClientServerAddress "Ethernet" -ResetServerAddresses
Edit /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8 #1
nameserver 8.8.4.4 #2
Or (ubuntu) /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf, note the reversed order.
prepend domain-name-servers 8.8.4.4; # 2
prepend domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8; # 1
Then:
/etc/init.d/networking restart
