The instructions say you should comment out "dns=dnsmasq" in order to disable "the system dnsmasq". But commenting out that line (and restarting network-manager) will only disable the NetworkManager-controlled dnsmasq instance (which listens at 127.0.1.1 in Quantal and higher, at 127.0.0.1 in Precise). If you have the "dnsmasq" package installed then you have another system dnsmasq instance running which listens by default on all network interfaces. Make sure that the "dnsmasq" package is not installed if you don't want this dnsmasq instance to be running.
