That message's coming everytime I'm tryin to use "host" command. I've tried to change file resolv.conf, I've entered here "nameserver 127.0.0.1" as it was advised in some messages i've googled. But the problem remains... Does anybody knows what's wrong in there?
"parse of" failed. This suggests to me either the syntax is wrong or it doesn't have permission to read the file. You might try adjusting its permissions or typing a brand new file to eliminate the possibility of hidden control characters.
Pasting your resolv.conf here would let us know if you have syntax errors (other than hidden characters).
Setting 127.0.0.1 tells it to use the nameserver you're running on the local host. If you're not running one (BIND, tinyDNS, etc...) it may be pointing to nothing but I would expect it to give a different error int hat case.
