I am running BSD. When i do an nslookup i get the following error;

***can't find server name for address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Non-exisistant
host/domain

Any help is appreciated.

This means that there's no reverse DNS entry for your nameserver's
address.  Get your DNS administrator to add it.

Well... you didn't say what host or domain you were trying to look
up, but it sounds kind like the host or domain you were trying to
look up

A) doesn't exist,
B) doesn't have any nameservers (which is just as good as A), or
C) doesn't have any nameservers that your machine can currently
   connect to (which might just be a network/routing problem).

Post more details? :)

well first you have to enter in the /etc/hosts the entries for the DNS
servers.
Then do :
# ypinit -c
it will ask you to enter the DNS servers
then add the domainname in the /etc/defaultdomain

This should be enough to solve your problem
