I don't think you want your domain name in that file.

Almost impossible for me to answer since I'm not only an amateur,
I also have almost no knowledge of your system.  Two thoughts:

1)  In resolv.conf, you should _need only one line_ if you are
    not running a name server on that machine; namely (without
    the quotes, and with the numbers replaced with the correct
    IP address of the machine running your name server):
                "nameserver 123.234.56.111".

2)  Is Lynx running on a Sun machine?  Perhaps you need to define
    "RESOLVLIB" when building Lynx.  If you use autoconf, define
    it as an environment variable in the same shell as you run make.
