If you can't edit /etc/init.sh or /etc/init.androVM.sh and the error is the read-only file (despite being su) you can just write the following as superuser on the commandline:

setprop net.dns1 10.0.0.138

or any other IP, this is often the local router (capable of DNS). Check your network connection details for getting this IP.

The drawback is, that you have to do this every time, but it is not very time-consuming.
