resolv.conf configures where your DNS servers are.
To fix this problem, I would look in /etc/hosts. There'll be a line
starting with "127.0.0.1".
It should look like this at a minimum:
127.0.0.1 localhost
There should be other lines included for your network interfaces and
other hosts that you want to hardcode.
I'd also check your nsswitch.conf hosts line:
$ grep ^hosts: /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files dns
Which says for host resolution, look at /etc/hosts, then DNS (via
resolv.conf.)
