1. ok so now i am going to make a file resolv.conf and i am going to put
the following lines

nameserver 209.226.175.223
nameserver 198.235.216.134

is this ok

2. do i have to modify nsswitch.conf and put the dns after the host like
this

host : files dns or host : file dns or host : dns

which one is correct format

are these 2 steps works for running internet browser correctly

because when i install system i select NONE for name services is that was
ok.
