To get out of vi/vim/view, type a ":" to get to the command prompt and
then a "q" (followed by return). This won't let you quit if you have
changed anything; to force a quit and leave the original untouched use
"q!". Vi(m) is quite good at not letting you damage files by accident.

Resolv.conf is (or should be:) quite small, about 3-4 lines. So you can
just use cat so see it.

The results of:

cat /etc/resolv.conf
netstat -rn
ifconfig -a

would be useful.

The Original Poster. I.e. you.
