What does NSLOOKUP say? non-existant domain probably

In DNS do you have a reverse lookup zone?

In a command prompt:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns

Now try NSLOOKUP again to see if the server is now seeing itself properly

Also in the network card settings. Do you have the primary dns ip set to the
same as the server?

Give those a try
