Nslookup returns server unknown

Hello,
I am not sure if I have a reason to be uncomfortable but the results below do make me uncomfortable. Note that I do not have any problems accessing my network resources and the internet from any program. However...
Here is the ipconfig on my pc:
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : mydomain.com

        *** UnKnown can't find

        Server:  white.mydomain.com
        Address:  192.168.63.122

        Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
            Minimum = 59ms, Maximum = 121ms, Average = 89ms
More about the environment:
        - Very small domain - two AD servers (both Windows Server 2012), two computers (running Windows 8) and three or four devices (printer, phone, WiFi access point, etc.).
        - The network (DHCP, DNS, servers and gateway static addresses etc.) is both IPv4 and IPv6.
        - There are DNS running on both DC servers.
        - The servers have static IPv4 and 6 addresses.
        - The servers have both DNS addresses (both IPv4 and 6) in their IP configuration.
        - Single forward lookup zone - mydomain.com (and of course _msdcs...).
        - Two reverse lookup zones one for IPv4 and one for IPv6.
        - DHCP has the two DNS servers in the options.
Call me old-fashioned but I've been using "nslookup yahoo.com" to diagnose my network problems for years and now when it doesn't answer unless i specify the dns server, makes me nervous. Am I right and if I am can you suggest possible problems in
my configrations.
Thanks Val

It's only showing "unknown" for the IPv6 address.
Go into your IPv6 properties, and set the IP and DNS address settings to be obtained automatically.
Then in Manage network adapters windows, change the view options to show Menu, then click on Advanced, Advanced, and make sure IPv4 is on top instead of IPv6.

  • The Server application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned an unknown error. You may need to re install the server application

    Hello All, can anybody help?
    The Problem
    We are running SharePoint 2013 and document sets that have an excel file and a PowerPoint presentation both in the document set folder  and we have mapped this to a unc path
    \\SP.companyname.com\@SSL\DavWWWRoot\Documents
    Once a link(graph) is added from excel 2010 (Ctrl C) then go into PowerPoint 2010 Paste > paste special > paste link (As Microsoft Excel Chart Object) click ok the graph goes into the PowerPoint presentation.
    The graph/Table is added but in Power point 2010. Perfect.
    The problem is when we close excel and try and click on the graph(link) we get the following error “The Server application, source file, or item can’t be found, or returned an unknown error. You may need to reinstall the server
    application”
    If we right click then we get
    The Linked file was unavailable and can’t be updated
    Has anybody else experienced this issue?
    We are running SharePoint 2013 and document sets that have the excel file and PowerPoint in and we have mapped this to a unc path
    \\SP.companyname.com\@SSL\DavWWWRoot\Documents
    I think that Office 2010 does not link or cannot link to a url which it see the unc path as?? It works in Office 2013 but we have Office 2010 as standard across the firm also I have tried SP1 and SP2 for Office 2010 but still
    no joy 
    Is anybody else experiencing this issue? is there at least a work around?
    Many thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    Usually this issue is caused by the Protected Mode in Adobe software, since it's not a Microsoft product, the information I can provide is quite limited. I suggest you contact the support of Adobe first, ask if they can provide any suggestion.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

    Hi. I need help regarding facebook for blackberry. I cannot post any status update, i keep on receiving an error prompt "the facebook server has returned an unknown error and is not able to fulfill your request. (2001)".  it has been like this for the past 3 days. I already did the hard reboot many times, re-send service book though i do'nt think it's needed, and tried uninstalling and reinstalling the facebook application too but still getting the same error everytime i try to post a status update. I can comment to messages on my wall and other profiles, the news feed is updating in time too, i can also log-in and out to facebook with no problem, as well as other applications on my phone like foursquare, BBm, ubersocial, BB protect, BB app world, etc, are all working perfectly fine. And now I don't know what seems to be the problem.
    I've already contacted my network provider and told me that the error i'm getting is beyond their scope.
    Is anybody having the same problem as mine? 
    Can someone in BB support team help me regarding this issue and tell me what should I do?
    Thank you in advance. 

    I got the same issue !! Since I've updated my Facebook app 2 or 3 week ago !
    I can not  update my status and check-in ! It gives me "the facebook server has returned an unknown error and is not able to fulfill your request. (2001) "
    I can upload photo, put comment on people, like people status/picture. The news feed update perfectly !
    I also  tryied to uninstall reinstall the app, reboot etc etc ! I still can't update my status !!!! I've installed 3.0.0.17 this morning and the issue is still there...
    I've remarked one thing... On my facebook under "privacy setting/the Apps, Games and Websites" I used to have a "blackberry app" installed. It's not there anymore and I didn't remove it.
    I don't know how to reinstall it...

  • When i send a mail to the user of messaging server, it returns saying unknown user.

    I am trying to add a mail user to iplanet messaging server 5.1, I am able to configure that user from my mail client (outlook) but when i send mail to that user, it returns saying unknown user. I can see that user in LDAP data base/

    This could be symptomatic of the iMS 5.1 server not yet having done a full synch to its alias database of the LDAP server. This is done every 24 hours (default) at 2 or 3 am. You can synch manually by running the "imsimta dirsync -F" command.

  • Error message when opening Outlook: The operation failed. The messaging interfaces have returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.

    In an Exchange 2010 server/Outlook 2013 environment, one of our users is getting an error message every time they start Outlook. The error message says: "The operation failed. The messaging interfaces have returned an unknown error. If the problem
    persists, restart Outlook."
    The error log message details are as follow:

    The system is as follows:
    Size of .pst file: 2.3 GB (Unicode format so there should be plenty of space left)
    OS: Windows 7 (64-Bit)
    Application: Outlook 2013 (32-Bit)
    The user upgraded from Outlook 2010 a few months ago and the error message has only recently started appearing on startup. I thought it was a corrupt mail profile, so I have already tried creating a new mail profile, as well as the repairing tool in Outlook.
    I even tested another email account and that worked just fine. So apparently it is something wrong with the specific user's account/profile and not something wrong with the computer - since my email account worked fine on his computer.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had the same error message, only in my situation Outlook would only open successfully every 4 or 5 attempts. When Outlook would open (versus just hanging at the splash screen), I would get two dialog boxes with the warning/error message. 
    After I clicked okay I could get into Outlook.
    Previously I experienced this problem running my Office 2010 client with my Exchange 2007 mailbox on my old laptop.  The problem followed my mailbox through an Exchange 2010 migration (so new Exchange org), client upgrade to Outlook 2013, and a new
    laptop (so I knew it wasn't a corrupt profile).  This led me to the conclusion that it was a corrupt item(s) in my mailbox.
    To resolve the issue, I archived *everything* in my mailbox to a PST file, ran SCANPST to fix the corruption, and then uploaded everything back into my Exchange mailbox one folder at a time, stopping after each folder to close and restart Outlook so I could
    narrow down which folder had the corrupt item if the problem recurred.  I'm happy to say my issue is now resolved.

    Hi,

    I did the following:
    1. I have setup a databse connection for SAP SSM via the create connection wizard in the Universe Design Tool. My connection is created sucessfully.
    2. Next I created a Universe saved it and exported it.
    3. In webi I am trying to create a report, I selected a couple of measures in the "results objects" section. In the qurey filters section I selected month.
    When I run this query, I am getting an error message: Database error: Failed to execute MDX query. Reason: returned server error (). (IES 10901) (WIS 10901).

  • Outlook 2013 Changing Shared Calendar Appointment Categories causes error The Operation failed the messaging interfaces have returned an unknown error

    Hi
    Our user used to be able to change the categories in a shared outlook calendar appointment but is now getting the error:
    The Operation failed the messaging interfaces have returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.
    We have tried re-creating the mail profile but still get the same error.
    If anyone has any other suggestions, that would be great, thanks.

    Glad to hear that it works fine in new profile. It seems your old OST file or other file in profile is corrupted. After you create a new profile, Outlook would re-sync your mailbox to a totally new OST as the data file.

    You should specify a sensible value for RESUME RETURN. Maybe 100. using 0 prevents return services ever being resumed automatically.

  • Client returns server not found:rtmp://192.168.10.1:/live when accessed from another pc

    Hi there. Please i have a small LAN of about 8 computers all of which are running windows 7. I have installed FMS and XAMPP webserver on one of the machines. I want to stream live from one PC to all the other PCs on the LAN. I have a webpage with jwplayer embedded in it on my XAMPP webserver that is able to see the live stream when i start it locally. I mean the live stream works fine on the machine with the servers on it. But when i want to view the live stream from another machine in the LAN by accessing the webpage that has the jwpalyer from another machine, The jwplayer returns "server not found:rtmp://192.168.10.1/live" error. I was thinking that maybe a firewall is blocking the 1935 port but i have turned off the firewall of every PC on the LAN. I have unistalled any antivirus program on all the PCs. But i still get the same error when i try to access the live stream from another PC on the LAN.
    When i run netstat -a -n|find ":1935" i get  192.168.10.2:49184   192.168.10.1:1935     SYN_SENT and i think the request for the stream is sent but the conection is rejected.

    This page is able to view the stream on my local machine but it wouldn't work on the other machines on the machines. Is it not possible to stream over a LAN or what? OR What am i not doing right. [hmmn! [sighs] this is so frustrating]. help me please.Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks man. that is so helpful. But i doesn't solve the problem yet. I'll appreciate it a great deal if you could help me make the server accept requests from the 1935 port... And please tell me whether by server, u mean the FMS or the entire server on which the FMS is installed. I'm guessing it is the latter. Thanks in advance for your help

  • HT4623 on upgrading iPhone 4 to ios 6 using itunes it returned an unknown error then froze completely.  It has the iTunes and USB connector on the screen.  Reset is not working, I get the same frozen screen.

    On upgrading iPhone 4 to ios 6 using iTunes, it returned an unknown error then froze completely with the iTunes icon and USB connector on the screen.  Reset didn't work.  iTunes doesn't recognize the devise anymore.

    if your computer is not recognizing it, try using a different USB port or different usb cable. if that doesnt work you will need to uninstall and reinstall itunes.
