192.168.0.1 is your dns server? If yes, then that's correct.
Hmm, what else...
1. Check for network quality, by pinging your dns server or any other pc in 
the network for say a whole day and glance at the result whether there is any 
time out.
2. When you can't open certain website, try use the command dig to see whether 
it is your dns server that is having problem. Then try to dig with other dns 
server such as: dig www.ubuntu.com @ipofotherdnsserver
3. If possible, contact your proxy administrator. He could be 
implementing/testing some restrictions such as file type/url blocking.
4. The ultimate testing is to use another pc with ubuntu see if they are ok, 
and that it is indeed something funny is happening with your ubuntu.
