That nameserver address would be a machine on your local network if there
is one with that IP number. If there isn't a nameserver there, I'd be
wondering how any of your programs are finding anything.
On my Mdv2008 system, when setting up the network connections, I selected
'Get DNS servers from DHCP' and my resolve.conf contains the primary and
secondary DNS servers that the router has been set up to provide. The
alternative is to unselect that option and enter the DNS server IP numbers
you want to use.

That seems to belong to BT.net

Edit the network connection in 'Configure your computer - Network and
Internet - Set up a new network interface' to either 'Get ... from DHCP'
or with the IP numbers of your preferred DNS servers.
