G'day Mate,

Is this error occuring whilst checking on an internal DNS server or coming from an external server.

This is a concern as the error 'DNS server not authoritative for zone' usually means that the server or address listed is not set up as an authoratative server and thus the record is not accepted as accurate. ButI am concerned that the IP address is 192.168.0.5 as this is one of the C class reserved for internal use addresses, thus the general Internet DNS servers and routers would not accept or route requests to such an address as it NEVER used as an Internet IP address.

I suspect you have a badly set up internal DNS server that needs to be checked out and its records verified.
