CentOS DNS malfunctioning - Cannot resolve any hostnames after reboot

I am running Linux VPS on CentOS 6.4, and I log into it remotely via putty

I made a change to my /etc/sysconfig/selinux file:

/etc/sysconfig/selinux

# SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded. SELINUX=disabled (default was 'enforcing') 

So I rebooted my server:

shutdown -r now 

Now it is up and running again, but it cannot resolve any hostnames:

When I do:

wget 

I get the following error:

Resolving failed: Temporary failure in name resolution. 

Even if I do:

nslookup google.com 

it does not work, same error: cannot resolve hostname.

What is wrong with my server DNS?

Thanks

I got this to work by making a change (adding DNS servers) to the following file:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DNS1=8.8.8.8 DNS2=8.8.4.4 DOMAIN=localdomain 

As suggested by this file:

/etc/resolv.conf
