This means that Summary is still working on doing the DNS lookups. DNS 
lookups can take hours, or even days in some situations. While they are 
in progress you will see that message. Some of the reports will be 
inaccurate while DNS lookups are in progress, notably Visitors:Countries 
(Top Level Domains) and Visitors:Visitors.

DNS lookups can take a particularly long time after you give Summary some 
very large log files that it hasn't seen before. Summary caches the 
results of the DNS lookups, so they will tend to run very quickly if you 
are processing logs that Summary has seen before.

The "solution" is simply to wait a while. Once DNS lookups are complete 
that message will go away.
