Answer section:
sbwib has an a host record for the domain.
sbwib.org resolves to IP address of 64.161.233.6
accenet does not.
in the master file if you put:
@ IN A your.webserver.ip.address
In addition I would guess the difference is that your server ns2 is giving a
non-authoritive answer for your domain.
Non-authoritative answer:
accenet.com nameserver = ns2.accenet.com
Authoritative answers can be found from:
ns2.accenet.com internet address = 216.59.145.118
See:
7:14am (~) webeng => dig @ns2.accenet.com. in ns.accenet.com.
; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> @ns2.accenet.com. in ns.accenet.com.
; (1 server found)

I would recommend rechecking your config file to make sure that all is correct.
