Utility Programs for TCP/IP Diagnostics
C.1.3 nslookup
An IP address can be assigned via a host name. This assignment of name and IP address is
stored in the DNS server (DNS = Domain Name Server). The command nslookup can be
used to query data that was saved for a specific host in the DNS server. By entering the com-
mand nslookup in the MS-DOS prompt, the program tries to contact the DNS server provided
in the network. If a name is queried, the corresponding IP address is returned. Conversely, if
an IP address is queried, the host name is returned. If neither the IP address nor the host name
is stored in the DNS server, a corresponding error message is output.
The ping command message Invalid IP address indicates that the host name specified
cannot be converted into an IP address. This occurs when the DNS server is out of service or
the entry does not exist. This requires that the DNS servers are entered in the network config-
uration and can be addressed via network.
nslookup can be used to query various entries (records) on the DNS server. Once the pro-
gram has been started, the following entries can be used to query the corresponding data.
