I cannot access any Google services such as Google.com or GMail from my Ubuntu 14.04. It's not an ISP issue, because I can access Google services using my smartphone using the same wifi connection that connects my PC.
If I try to access google.com or mail.google.com with Chromium browser, it keeps loading with "resolving host" at the status bar. If I leave it to load, after a long time it returns an empty blank white page with no error messages.

I get Google services to work in my Ubuntu computer if I run
sudo service network-manager restart
After this, Google services work for a few minutes. This problem has been going on for a few weeks now.
Any ideas?
