Re: nslookup not finding server

[Kevin Colby <kevinc grainsystems com>]

It looks like it can't connect to the DNS server.
Try telnetting to the 204.167.104.162, port 53.
You should get something like:
--------------------------------
Connected to ns.n-p-i.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
--------------------------------

If not, either you have networking/routing issues
or that machine is not running a DNS server.
