First, make sure you have internet access, and make sure resolvconf is 
installed on your system.

"sudo aptitude install resolvconf"

/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base is the "meat" of the file, or the 
middle. Define your nameservers here using this syntax: "nameserver 
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip of your nameserver.

After you have applied your changes, but *before* you restart your 
network service, run this command:

"sudo resolvconf -u"

This will run the script and update your /etc/resolv.conf file. This 
apparently should happen every time the machine boots.

After that, restart your networking service with this command:

"sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart"

Voila!
