Name Server Problems

Does anyone out there know what may be going on here?  I have another
server that connects perfectly well, but this one does not.  I tried
identifying two name servers in db.zoneinfo (this server is a windows NT
machine) rather than the one, because this was trying to use 209.61.89.145
as the name server, and the working one was identifying 199.0.65.2 as the
only name server when I did an nslookup.  The gambit of adding the second
explicit name server seems to have worked, in that I get responses now to
nslookup, but it remains that 209.... is apparently not functioning as a
name server, or at least is not recognized.  Here is the information from
some of the diagnostics.

The problem now appears to be that 209.61.89.145 is for some reason not
recognizable as a server/host/...

[nslookup at command prompt
First response is that cannot find server name for 209.61.89.145  Non
existent host/domain.]

Default Server:  zork.tiac.net
Address:  199.0.65.2

> > ls

Server:  zork.tiac.net
Address:  199.0.65.2

[This is recognized as a name server and was specified as such in
db.zoneinfo.]

Name:    ls

> set all

Default Server:  zork.tiac.net
Address:  199.0.65.2

Set options:
  nodebug  	  defname	  search	  recurse
  nod2		  novc		  noignoretc	  port=53
  querytype=A	  class=IN	  timeout=5	  retry=4
  root=a.root-servers.net.
  domain=
  srchlist=

Here are the traceroutes, one from this machine to the outside world, and
the other an attempt to go in to the machine from the outside.  Note that I
can go out but not in.
