DNS/AD question. Why does nslookup give me strange results?

by alohaaaron . Updated 14 years, 11 months ago

When my computer is added to my active directory and I type nslookup www.yahoo.com I get the result below which tags on mycompany.net to the end of each query and I never get the correct nslookup info. But if I remove my computer from the AD domain and run the same query I get the correct result. Is my DNS or active directory setup incorrectly?

C:\Documents and Settings\test>nslookup www.yahoo.com
Server: vnsc-bak.sys.gtei.net
Address: 4.2.2.2

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.yahoo.com.mycompany.net
Address: 71.18.227.196

When I remove the computer from the domain I get:

C:\Documents and Settings\test>nslookup
www.yahoo.com
Server: vnsc-bak.sys.gtei.net
Address: 4.2.2.2

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.yahoo-ht3.akadns.net
Address: 209.131.36.158
Aliases: www.yahoo.com
