Well I know that there is a problem with the dhcpcd server it adds the domain to the name search and this is where the problem occurs. When web addresses are being found it searches everything on the network. Since I really dont have a domain server and just a router with a questionable dhcp server :P. Anyway I figured out the probelm I was spelling resolv.conf reslov.conf. 

Sorry for the bother
