Hi,

I have recently configured a new Debian GNU/Linux server and migrated the 
settings and stuffs from my old laptopserver.

Everything works shiningly, except for one thing: when I try to access the 
server via its fqdn, my laptop returns a DNS error, unknown host.

I know that somewhere in the bowels of my laptop, only while connected to the 
same network as the server behind a dlink G router,  it's becoming corrupted 
because:

maylay:~# nslookup wanton.dyndns.org 205.171.2.65
Server:         205.171.2.65
Address:        205.171.2.65#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   wanton.dyndns.org
Address: 204.193.219.193

where 205.11.2.65 is the primary dns reported by the router. The address it 
pulls is valid, indeed.

maylay:~# nslookup wanton.dyndns.org
Server:         192.168.0.1
Address:        192.168.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   wanton.dyndns.org
Address: 204.193.219.193

using the router for DNS reports the same IP address, leading me to believe 
the laptop is corrupting or doing *SOMETHING* to prevent a connection.

My hosts file is clean:
127.0.0.1   localhost

I think that would be the only thing prohibiting a connection on the laptop, 
so I honestly am at a loss of what to do.

Any ideas are much appreciated.
