SYMPTOMS
When you run Nslookup.exe at a command prompt, you receive
the following error message:

*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.18.1: None-
existent
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server: Unknown
Address: 192.168.18.1
server nt2k-dns
Click to expand...
Default Server: nt2k-dns.nbc.com
Address: 192.168.18.1
 
In order for NSLOOKUP to work there has to be a pointer
record in the reverse lookup zone for the DNS server.
RIght click on the Subnet inthe reverse lookup zone and if
a record exists for the DNS server but has bad
information, i.e. the wrong IP address or server name then
delete the record and recreate it.
 
Hi,

You get this message because you don't have a PTR record for your DNS
server. See 242906 "DNS Request Timed Out" Error Message When You Start
