if there is no /etc/resolv.conf then you can create it. debian prompts for DNS settings during install but if whoever installed it did not enter them i imagine it wouldn't create a resolv.conf.
you can (as root) do: echo "nameserver IP_OF_NAMESERVER" >/etc/resolv.conf to create a basic resolv.conf nate Adrian Nims wrote: > > I can't find any /etc/resolv.conf file in Debian distribution.
