Is there any thing to edit that file.

Actually iam trying to configure the open vpn ... so these things are necessary for me to do further .......
can anybody help me Please!............

sounds like you have no nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf. can't do dns lookups without a dns server to talk to. normally this would be a local adsl router for example.
