Yeah, OK your way out back to the Network Connections panel. What this is doing is replacing the ISP-assigned DNS with a different one (unless, of course, Verizon IS your ISP). When you look for google.com or any other site, the DNS is used to change that name into the IP address. It would seem like your DNS (your ISP's DNS) is failing intermittently. This would be a way of confirming that by using a different DNS. BTW, it is possible that your PC will default to using your router as a DNS and your router is forwarding the requests to your ISP's DNS. This should be fine, and if desired you can double-check the ISP's DNS entry on the router. If the ability to resolve addresses is stable while using the Verizon DNS and becomes unstable if you go back in the settings and change it back to "Obtain DNS server address automatically", then you may want to talk to your ISP about their DNS being flaky.
