Unable to set login string for int.

I think you are trying to make your router accept a remote login via telnet from a laptop. You are currently connrected to the router console.

So, set an enable or secret password as you have, then do:

conf t
line vty 0 4
password cisco
login
end

The
"Translating "int"... domain server (255.255.255.255) 255.255.255.255
Unable to set login string for int."
that you got was because the router interpreted your input as the name of a device on the network that you wanted to search for.

To stop that, do:
conf t
no ip domain-lookup
end

Also, do this for less confusion...
router(config)#line con 0
router(config-line)#logg sync
