Can someone point me to the right path in how o fix this:

C:\Documents and Settings\Chrismr.A1DOOR>nslookup
192.168.1.238
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.238: Non-
existent domai
*** Default servers are not available
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.238

*** UnKnown can't find 192.168.1.238: Non-existent domain

The senario is we have an NT 4 Server spk6a and we set up
DNS and it works internally and forwards out for exernal
sites. It's configured as a primary with no secondary.
Please advise.

Thank You,

Chrisbo

This is nslookup trying to perform a reverse lookup on the DNS server's IP
address. You can create a reverse lookup zone and the PTR record for the IP
address, or you can ignore the message.
