Cannot see a 2000 server

[Brian O'Gorman]

I am able to ping, tracert, nslookup and dig a W2K server I recently set 
up with a static IP address and which I have joined to domain. However, 
I get a Service Manager error which complains about the DnsApi  and amd 
unable to see the server from the Network Neighborhood. The master zone 
and conf check out OK with named-conf and named-checkzone.  I am running 
 named 9.2.2 on a Solaris 9  machine. I've attached the DnsApi error 
message from the W2K server and the nslookup command results. Could 
anyone offer some suggestions please. Thanks in advance. Also I hope 
this is the correct mailing list for questions of this sort.

DnsApi	Warning	None	11153	N/A	ERIMACRUS	
The system failed to register network adapter with settings:

   Adapter Name : {904B0B5A-259F-436B-9E4D-F69B453778B1}
   Host Name : erimacrus
   Adapter-specific Domain Suffix : kfrc.noaa.gov
   DNS server list :
     161.55.98.36
   Sent update to server : 161.55.98.36
   IP Address(es) :
     161.55.98.38

 The reason it could not register was because the DNS server 
refused the dynamic update request. This could happen for the 
following reasons: (a) current DNS update policies do not 
allow this computer to update the DNS domain name configured 
for this adapter, or (b) the authoritative DNS server for this 
DNS domain name does not support the DNS dynamic update protocol.

To register a DNS host (A) resource record using the specific 
DNS domain name for this adapter, contact your DNS server or 
network systems administrator.
