I am assuming that you have added the new nameserver to your list of nameservers to query. Since this is a redundant nameserver, can you just query the primary nameserver? What happens when you have just the entry for the primary nameserver? It has been awhile since I setup a Windows nameserver, but as I recall, there is a difference between running a DNS nameserver and a WINS nameserver. You may want to find out what he is running. * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
