i am connected to ideal

i just did a nslookup on ns1.telstra.net to show it was working
defaultrouter="192.168.0.1" is in my rc.conf

the nameserver is ns1.ideal.net.au
it work to ping a ip but not host
it can nslookup a host and return its ip address

but for some reason it wont ping a hostname

seems to be not resolve the hostname as it pings

Regards
