You have two network connections activated, quite likely on the same
network, and the traffic isn't sure which way it's supposed to
leave/return to your system?
I have seen something like you describe, possibly the same thing.
If you use the wireless setup at 2 different sites (with different
ESSID's) then NM knows to change /etc/resolv.conf.
But if you change places, and only plug in the wired connection, the
wireless side still thinks it is at the 'old' spot and never gets a good
DNS address.
When this happens, run iwconfig from the command line and it will tell
you which ESSID is thinks it should be talking to.
In one sense the answer is to run the wired connection with service
network start in a script which sets the proper DNS for the site, and
the wireless with NM only. (When I say 'proper DNS' I mean the you run
script which swaps /etc/resolv.conf.home and /etc/resolv.conf.office ass
required.)
