dns

I have a machine that can't access the server. I tried pinging the using the ip address of the server and it work great. But when I use the name to ping the server it gives a timeout.

My nslookup cannot resolve the DNS servers but others in my company can. I am wondering is there something that can cause these behavior.

I can access the internet though with their names.

I am runiing on a xp SP2
