Hi,

please see the below output-

C:\>nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.2.254: Non-existent domain
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server:  UnKnown
Address:  192.168.2.254

> www.yahoo.com
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  192.168.2.254

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    eu-fp.wa1.b.yahoo.com
Address:  87.248.122.122
Aliases:  www.yahoo.com, fp.wg1.b.yahoo.com

> server 127.0.0.1
Default Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

> www.yahoo.com
Server:  localhost

When you run Eagle DNS locally for testing I recommend that you run it on a different port.

You can then use the following command to query the server (replace 1234 with the port you are using):

nslookup -port=1234 test.com localhost

This will cause Windows to try and resolve test.com using the DNS server located at localhost:1234

By the way, you can subscribe to threads here on the forum by clicking on the  icon at the top-right of each thread. That way you'll get an e-mail notification when someone posts a reply.
