Can't NSLOOKUP outbound to a known working IP on the Internet, blocked at ActionTec Router

At the CMD line> nslookup <IP-address>

Server: Wireless_Broadband_Router.home

Address: 192.168.1.1

*** Wireless_Broadband_Router.home can't find <ip-address>: Non-existent Domain

What setting am I missing in the Actiontec Router that would allow this outbound network command?

I have no idea why you get that response, here is what I see:

C:\Documents and Settings\Justin>nslookup www.lakekiowatx.com
Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.lakekiowatx.com.home
Address: 208.69.32.132

C:\Documents and Settings\Justin>

I am using OpenDNS, could that have an effect?

I'm not using OpenDNS, I might have to try that and see the results. Thanks.

Ok, I went and implemented OpenDNS in my Router, under the Connections section Home/Office network that I have defined. The primary and secondary DNS entries were empty, so I entered the OpenDNS primary and secondary IP addresses, 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Saved the configuration, tested it, and everything worked great.

Thanks!
