Strange name resolving issuses...

When I type:

heaven# nslookup wallnet.com
Server:  cpe3.maestro.njit.edu
Address:  128.235.198.4

Name:    wallnet.com
Address:  208.225.162.122


All is well, but when I type:

heaven# ping wallnet.com

I get:

ping: cannot resolve wallnet.com: Unknown host

The IP address of this machine is 192.168.0.64 and shares the private
subnet with 2 other machines (one Win2k, one Linux) that can ping the
outside world with no apparent problem.  The FreeBSD box can get to the
internet via IP addresses, just fine; it just can't resolve names.

/etc/resolv.conf has valid Nameserver entries; I'm about out of ideas


The OS is: 4.6-STABLE (as of Wednesday afternoon).

I'd appreciate any thoughts.
