Hello all:

My first post here, and I begin with a (possibly super) newbie query.

'nslookup' fails to resolve my local machine which I have named: 'soma'.

Here are some data:

$hostname
soma.ad.adfa.edu.au

$hostname -d
ad.adfa.edu.au

$domainname
(none)

I connect to the LAN via DHCP. Lookup on any remote website/or my own
Ubuntu box succeeds.

Where should I be looking into?


Many TIA
-Amit
