Agreed. But why is resolv.conf empty? That is the first problem to solve. Solve it first. > One way to fix it is to > $ sudo -i > # echo "servername 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf Almost but not quite. The word is "nameserver" not "servername". And to deal with potential broken lines there now I would truncate the file with full contents. This would fix it. # echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf And of course 8.8.8.8 is Google's public dns service. An easy to remember address. Should work to get you going. HOWEVER! The file is probably empty due to not having any network connection. Instead of doing the above at all I think it would be better to determine what the network problem is all about and fixing it first. Then with that fixed the /etc/resolv.conf issue will be fixed too.
