Janina's mail problem.

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Ari:

Yes, nslookup 127.0.0.1 yields name =  localhost.

and nslookup localhost yields address 127.0.0.1

However, and here's the problem, I think:

nslookup toccata.grg.afb.net yields:

Server:		127.0.0.1
Address:	127.0.0.1#53

** server can't find toccata.grg.afb.net.: NXDOMAIN
