NSLOOKUP responds

[lardum]

When i run NSLOOKUP from one of my servers i get the following:
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.150: Non-existent domain
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.151: Non-existent domain
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.150

This happens also when i run NSLOOKUP from server 192.168.1.150. The DNS server is 192.168.1.150.

Anyone have any ideas?

hi exatly the same problem as you... have run the active directry wizard n it setup DNS in the process.... well it said it did but it dusent work lol.
Intrestingly when you go into the monitoring tab in the DNS server properties n run the forward and reverse lookup tests they both pass?? but yet wen u set the clients to use the ip of the server as their DNS server ad the run nslookup you get the error "lardum" is getting

Can't find server name for ....: No response from server - DNS Request Timed Out

Symptom: When running nslookup, you may receive this message: Can't find server name for ....: No response from server

Cause: the DNS server's reverse lookup zones do not contain a PTR record for the DNS server's IP address.
