I think Kjertil's problem was the DNS servers, so I am not sure the above
will help him.
In the resolv.conf you just write as many lines you need:
////////////////////////
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
////////////////////////
However, yiu need to tell us how you connect. If you use DHCP, you
shouldn't need this at all. Please explain more.
