Not sure what OS you are running, but I would be running this on debian
'apt-get purge resolvconf' and then setting up /etc/resolv.conf
manually.

Do you have a line in /etc/hosts that starts '127.0.1.1' ? If so, it
probably also contains  the FQDN & short hostname of the DC.
If the line is as I described, change the '127.0.1.1' to the DCs
ipaddress. If it doesn't, then remove the line and add a line like this:
DC_IP DC_FQDN DC_SHORTHOSTNAME
