The typical resolv.conf entry might look like this:
search myhome.westell.com
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 192.168.1.1

In my case, this gets generated automatically when connecting with dhcp.

Tell us more about your network setup, how you connect to the internet, and what problem you are trying to solve.

<<Just did an experiment: I commented out the "search" line, leaving only the nameserver. DNS still seems to work fine. I'm not clear on what the search line is for.....>>
