Subject: "No DNS server configuration found" when approving spam reports
Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2008 21:31:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <u4p0t5n8a.fsf@dod.no> (raw)

Platform: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU,
	  Windows Vista Enterprise SP1,
	  GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.0.6001) of 2008-09-06 on SOFT-MJASON,
	  CVS gnus (updated Nov 17, 2008)

When I'm running Lars' ~/gmadmin/spam-gmane.el to approve and reject
spam reports in www.gmane.org I see the message "No DNS server
configuration found" where I'm supposed to see the reverse lookup of the
reporting machine's IP address.

The spam-gmane.el uses a dns.el that comes from gnus, and the method
that contains the message I see is the method query-dns.

Does anyone know why the query-dns function in Gnus doesn't work as
expected for me?  Is it expected to work at all on Windows machines?  Is
it expected to work at all on Vista machines?

Is there some configuration trick I can do to get a DNS server?

(I obviously _do_ get a DNS server, when I get a DHCP lease... why
doesn't dns.el see that one?)


Thanx!
