DNS Problem: NSLOOKUP gives default server of all 0.0.0.0's

DNS Problem: NSLOOKUP gives default server of all 0.0.0.0's

Post by m » Fri, 23 Aug 1996 04:00:00



I have a network  registered with the NIC.
Their DNS server is has the address of  207.55.141.129.   But when I
run nslookup the default server shows up as 0.0.0.0's.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks;

Have you set up your nameserver(s) in /etc/resolv.conf?  You should have a
line that looks like this:

nameserver 207.55.141.129

In fact, you should probably even be running a nameserver inside your
network, maybe even on that machine right there, in which case you'll want
to put

nameserver 127.0.0.1

before that other nameserver line.  You gotta get the server running first,
though.  I think there's a HOWTO document that'll help you.

I think something wrong with your resolv.conf file, try looking in it,
should be quite comprehensive

This because you have an empty or no /etc/resolv.conf

1. Q: nslookup fails - no reverse resolution on ISP's DNS servers

#nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 206.111.47.3: Non-existent
host/domain
***                                                        206.111.47.4:
*** Default servers are not available
#

How do I resolve this error when my ISP does not have the PTR records for
the DNS servers? - I'd rather not run in.named on this particular box.

Thanks
