This should be enough:
lookup file bind
nameserver 24.2.9.33
nameserver 24.2.9.35
You can change the nameserver lines if you wish, if your ISP has
given you some. The numbers above are for the @home network’s
nameservers, which will work fine. The “lookup file bind” line says
to look in your /etc/hosts file before consulting the Internet. Many
people find this useful.

Still does not work could you tell me what the /etc/host file has or is
suppose to have in it.

There are way too many reasons why it still does not work, and most of
them have nothing to do with resolv.conf.
/etc/hosts is supposed to contain a series of lines that map a network
address
to a name. For example, you could create a new file as:
24.2.9.33 dns1.home.com dns1
24.2.9.35 dns2.home.com dns2
The IP address comes first. The names are just aliases for for the IP
address.
Now you should be able to “ping dns1” and if your network is set up
correctly
your ping will succeed. The names do not have to agree with anybody else’s
names. They are local to your machine.
