I presume that you have DSL (or if not what?). I have a ZyXEL modem
which I got with EarthLink DSL service. With my modem, it is possible
to tell the modem the two DNS addresses.
I would guess that the KDE auto detection is getting confused.
Setting the DNS addresses in the modem, as I did, will cure this problem.
It is also possible that you could put the DNS addresses in:
"/etc/resolv.conf" like this:
nameserver 207.69.188.185
nameserver 207.69.188.186
and that would fix it.
