Seems like you should resolve this problem first, before trying to install 
more software.  I'm not sure I'm following you though.  If you put your DNS 
servers' IP addresses in resolv.conf, then you shouldn't be having a 
problem with name resolution.

What's generating the "family not supported" error?  Ping?  Did you enable 
IPV6 on this box?
