This 100% fixed my problem!

1. In /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf add the following line:

prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220;

2. In /etc/nsswitch.conf edit this line

hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4

to this

hosts: files dns

I'm not sure which one of these did it to be honest, but it's fixed!
