You're right, that error is related to a problem with the DNS settings.

Try this:

If your DNS is always the same, you can edit the dillo start script and add the following line before the line that executes dillo:

Code:
echo nameserver 194.224.52.4 > /etc/resolv.conf
(change the IP of that line to the one of your DNS)

With that you reset the nameserver configuration of the ilia to one you know to work.

Hope that helps. If that works, you should investigate why the iliad isn't receiving the correct DNS server (as this "fix" is not very orthodox; you would only "fixing" the DNS for dillo and whatever you launch after that...).

NOTE: if the connection script of the iliad is using dhcp (dynamic ip), bear in mind that the dhcp client overwrites the resolv.conf file after it gets the connection parameters from the dhcp server. That's the reason to put the above line (to reset the nameserver to a sane value) in the dillo start script, as it's safe to assume that if you're launching dillo, the connection has been already stablished (the dhcp client has already touched the resolv.conf file, so it won't touch it again).
