The Windows machine probably isn't doing resolution itself, so what nameserver is it using? Is your FreeBSD machine using the same one, or is it running a nameserver itself? > I am running FreeBSD 4.7 RELEASE, and the box > is not behind a firewall.

More specifics would help, but I doubt it's a FreeBSD issue. Places to look: How is your machine represented to the Internet? (what does its name, IP address, reverse lookup look like) How is this information different than the boxes that are working? External DNS servers may (unusually) have restrictions on who they'll respond to. Are you running a DNS server locally, or are you pointed somewhere else? (resolv.conf) How does this relate to how the other boxes are configured? When you say "can't resolve", what do you mean? Does the query never get issued, does it not get a response, or is the response not useful/correct?
