Win2K DNS on workgroup server
I have a stand alone Win2K server running in a workgroup - it is running DNS - it is resolving queries however when I do an nslookup it tells me it cannot find the default server. But it does resolve the queries - how can I config so it resolves the IP to the name and does not give me that message? I believe I have the forward and reverse zones set up OK...but I guess not.

the one that is giving me an error is itself - it is a DNS server - that is what I want to try to fix
The fact that this box is a DNS Server does not imply it knows of that ...
Normal setup would be:
* primary dns = local server
* local DNS Server configured to forward unknown domains to next DNS Server

when i type in nslookup with this server as its own primary dns i get this message:
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.202: Non-existent domain
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.202
is there a way to make that go away?

Does nslookup resolve, too?
