Do you maybe mean to use 192.168/16 (RFC1918 space) in stead of
192.68.x.x?

| My resolv.conf contains the following:
| 	nameserver 192.68.0.1
| 	nameserver 127.0.0.1
| 
| The routing table contains:
| 	Destination	Gateway	Genmask	Flags	Metric	Ref	Use	Iface
| 	192.68.0.0	0.0.0.0		255.255.255.0	U	0	0	0	eth0
| 	127.0.0.0	0.0.0.0		255.0.0.0	U	0	0	6	lo
| 
| The nameserver's IP address is 192.68.0.1 but I receive the abover error.
| 
| When nslookup uses the loopback IP as the nameserver, everything (seems to)
| work fine.
| 
| Any help would be appreciated and more information will be posted if
| needed.

| Thank you very much,
