Nslookup -Debug returns a rcode = NXDO

by jward . Updated 25 years, 9 months ago

This is an extention to my previous question “Some DHCP Clients don’t get FQDN”
below is the response I get from
nslookup -debug

> wardjlap
Server: geisel.mydomain.com
Address: 172.22.0.33

Got answer:
HEADER:opcode = QUERY, id = 2, rcode = NXDOMAIN
header flags: response, auth. answer, want recursion, recursion avail.
questions = 1, answers = 0, authority records = 0, additional = 0

QUESTIONS:
wardjlap.mydomain.com,type = A, class = IN

————
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
timeout (2 secs)
*** Request to geisel.mydomain.com timed-out

Clients are configured to use DHCP and DHCP is configured to use WINS with NodeType = 0x8

In the example above nslookup returns an error code “rcode = NXDOMAIN” and the request
timed-out.

All client are on the same domain and subnet and configured to use DHCP yet some clients names are added to WINS and some are not?
