Thanks for the replies, after a day of pulling my hair out I finally figured out what the problem was - no space after my "," when inputting my DNS parameters; 8.8.4.4,8.8.8.8 does not work (which is what the tutorial shows). No error message pops up when setting this up in Ubuntu so after trying again for the 100th time I changed that up and it worked. I appreciate again the responses.
