You can see if resolution works at all:

$ nslookup google.com 129.250.35.250 (or the ip of your ISP's nameserver)

If that works then try the IP of your netgear box.

If the netgear works then try restarting networking (with the correct resolv.conf file in place). In /etc/init.d there should be something 'networky' for doing that.

If the netgear fails then it may not resolve correctly. There may be some setting to adjust on it.

If the nslookup does not work with any IP, then it may be firewall related (iptables, netgear, or ISP).
