resolv.conf & the internet

Hi I have DNS setup on Solaris 10 thought it isn't reoslveing Internet addresses properly

If I traceroute The UNIX and Linux Forums - the Top UNIX & Linux Q&A on the Web, I get to a hop to my DSL router but no further hops
- DNS Client & Multicast services are running
- nsswitch.conf is from nsswitch.dns
- /etc/hosts have 127.0.0.1 & the static ip of the unit configured
- resolv.conf is set*
- a windows client sucessfully connects to the internet so the DSL router is eliminated

* Only 1 entry, nameserver 192.168.1.1 ; the domain keyword is not used as i'm using this as a stand-alone box - is this accepted fo reslov.conf?

thx in advance

UNIX & Linux prefer actual nameservers as a number of DS don't refer the DNS queries for *NIX boxes
