Running a (slightly modified) Ubuntu:16.04 docker image, cannot access DNS servers. This is evidenced by being able to ping a resolved ip address for google.com (such as 172.217.4.142, which was resolved on a different computer), but not being able to ping google.com.

Most of my googling turns up issues about setting DNS flags. However I have tried setting the DOCKER_OPTS variable in /etc/default/docker to point to many DNS servers:
DOCKER_OPTS="--dns 209.244.0.3 --dns 209.244.0.4 --dns 64.6.64.6 --dns 64.6.65.6 --dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 8.8.4.4 --dns 84.200.69.80 --dns 84.200.70.40 --dns 8.26.56.26 --dns 8.20.247.20 --dns 208.67.222.222 --dns 208.67.220.220 --dns 199.85.126.10 --dns 199.85.127.10 --dns 81.218.119.11 --dns 209.88.198.133 --dns 195.46.39.39 --dns 195.46.39.40 --dns 192.95.54.3 --dns 192.95.54.1 --dns 208.76.50.50 --dns 208.76.51.51 --dns 216.146.35.35 --dns 216.146.36.36 --dns 37.235.1.174 --dns 37.235.1.177 --dns 198.101.242.72 --dns 23.253.163.53 --dns 77.88.8.8 --dns 77.88.8.1 --dns 91.239.100.100 --dns 89.233.43.71 --dns 74.82.42.42 --dns 109.69.8.51"
as well as setting the DNS variable in /etc/docker/daemon.json (as described here):
{
"dns": [ "209.244.0.3", "209.244.0.4", "64.6.64.6", "64.6.65.6", "8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4", "84.200.69.80", "84.200.70.40", "8.26.56.26", "8.20.247.20", "208.67.222.222", "208.67.220.220", "199.85.126.10", "199.85.127.10", "81.218.119.11", "209.88.198.133", "195.46.39.39", "195.46.39.40", "192.95.54.3", "192.95.54.1", "208.76.50.50", "208.76.51.51", "216.146.35.35", "216.146.36.36", "37.235.1.174", "37.235.1.177", "198.101.242.72", "23.253.163.53", "77.88.8.8", "77.88.8.1", "91.239.100.100", "89.233.43.71", "74.82.42.42", "109.69.8.51" ]
}
with no success for either attempt.
(These are all the IP addresses to DNS servers listed on lifewire)
One option I wanted to try was to reset the ip tables and network bridge, but this suggestion is too old to trust (for example docker -d is no longer a valid command)
A possible issue is that this machine is on university Ethernet, and had to be white-listed with the machine's Ethernet hardware address.
On the Ubuntu16 host machine, this was the eno1 device (if I'm using the correct term).
My first thought was that, since the docker0 hardware address is different, maybe the university network is blocking that traffic.
But I dont think this is the issue because I can still ping the raw IP address.
Maybe something is lost in translation when querying DNS?
Any suggestions?
