Alan,
Try an nslookup against the IP of your machine.   In other words:

nslookup
) server 11.22.33.44

then input the hostname/domain you're looking for.

You may need to make sure that the DNS server is enabled on the server 
(if this is the one we worked on last week, it should be, but its worth 
a glance).
