Connected to router but without internet

Question

My Linux Mint 17 box is connected to a router via eth0, of which is connected to the internet. However, my box cannot access websites or ping google.com etc.

I am sure the problem is with the DNS lookup since it is possible to ping outside IP addresses, just not their host names.

What is missing in my configuration?

/etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.200
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

ifconfig

Try adding nameserver to your interfaces file under eth0:

dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8
