------------------------------------------------------------
I cannot say what query I use with nslookup - when I type 'nslookup' at the
prompt,
it responds with:
*** Can't find server name for address 194.198.118.130: Query refused
(194.198.118.130 is our primary DNS)

So, I cannot get *into* nslookup at all.

Is this our problem, or our ISP's ?

Thank you
