You should have a line of: nameserver 192.168.1.1 When your machine reads resolv.conf it wants to find the address of a nameserver. If it finds a name, it has to contact a nameserver to resolve the name. But to resolve the name, it has to read resolv.conf and this is getting us into a loop, isn't it?
