This (and your resolv.conf) looks OK, so you get proper configuration.
Did you try using static IP configuration? If you are alone behind this router
you can set static IP configuration for your machine in
/etc/network/interfaces (remove auto-hotplug eth0 to avoid "auto-magic")

--- 8< ---
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.2
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.1.0
        gateway 192.168.1.1
        dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1
--- 8< ---

I suspect some DHCP voodoo magick in the background, so maybe this will help.
You'll find more details with: man 5 interfaces

On this machine (crufty ThinkPad T30 loaded with Parkes) I use NetworkManager
under GNOME and it is unbeliviably stable, so you can try this approach too.
However it requries some pointing and clicking, and memory to wast^Wfill with
GNOME libraries ;)

Happy hacking!
