Now that I've been able to use my other connection to get to the internet, I have found something that seems to solve my problem.
It is mentioned in one of the threads - basically you have to edit a file :
the file is /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
within this file you will see a commented out line (~prepend )
add the following line :
prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220;
Then restart the network or reboot -
