Hi everyone. I suffered too, but here is my solution.
This bug appears to affect old RTL8111/8168/8411 devices.
To check if you are affected:
# lshw -class network | grep product
product: RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller # <---
you might be
# lsmod | grep r8169
r8169 81920 0 # <--- you are affected because r8169 should
not be loaded, r8168 should be but appears to not come with Ubuntu 17.04...
To solve this problem you need to have DKMS installed:
# dpkg -l | grep dkms
ii dkms 2.3-3ubuntu1
all
Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework
You need to download
https://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/all/r8168-dkms/download and bring it
across to the machine affected and then install it on there:
# dpkg -i r8168-dkms_8.043.02-1_all.deb
I am saying this since it might be that you struggle to get anything
useful out of apt install etc because of lack of proper routing via your
local network gateway. Of course the alternative is to just do:
# sudo apt install r8168-dkms
For those needing a bit more help, see a more detailed guide @

It also explains why this problem is happening.

Title:
! Cannot connect to internet in Ubuntu 17.04 (DNS Lookup fails)
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hello,
I think this is a bug in the WIFI-driver or kernel.
Ubuntu is connected to the WIFI (router) box, but it cannot find DNS server
to get to the internet.
I have periodically *serious* problems with WIFI in Ubuntu 17.04.
The network icon shows "connected" to the router and internet, but browsers
and other attempts to get data report DNS error / or not connected.
This happens in all flavours of Ubuntu 17.04 (Ubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME
etc.).
Same laptop with Ubuntu 16.10 works flawlessly.
The connection works fine after I reboot (power off/on) the router box.
Then the bug may return (or may not return) after I turn on my laptop next
time.
This laptop is Toshiba Stellite P50 C.
The laptop has Intel Corporation Wireless 3165 (rev 81).
$ lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net; uname -r; ls /lib/firmware/ | grep
'iwlwifi-7265d'

Restarting the network.manager does not help.
$ sudo service network-manager restart
Network manager connects (and sees) to the router, but cannot access internet.
