If you don't have a file called /etc/resolv.conf, you need to create one.
Here's what a typical one looks like:
search yourdomain.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 193.190.253.33
nameserver 134.58.126.3
The first line is there to tell the resolver which is your domain, so that
you can use "short" names.
The second line gives the first nameserver, the local host. You need to
have a nameserver running for that.
The last two lines give nameservers out on the net. You should contact
your ISP to find out these.
Anyway, check out "man resolv.conf".
