% I receive the following error message when trying to set my default
% nameserver as IP 192.68.0.1:
% *** Can't find server name for address 192.68.0.1: Non-existent
% host/domain
%
% My resolv.conf contains the following:
% nameserver 192.68.0.1
% nameserver 127.0.0.1
%
% The routing table contains:
% Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
% 192.68.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
% 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 6 lo
%
% The nameserver's IP address is 192.68.0.1 but I receive the abover error.
%
% When nslookup uses the loopback IP as the nameserver, everything (seems to)
% work fine.
%
% Any help would be appreciated and more information will be posted if
% needed.

% Thank you very much,

Hum. 192.68.0.0/24 is delegated to:
netCS Informationstechnik GmbH (NETBLK-NETCS-68C)
Feuerbachstrasse 47-49
D-1000 Berlin 41
GERMANY
...
and there does not appear to be a server at: 192.68.0.1
32% dig @192.68.0.1 68.192.in-addr.arpa. ns
; <<>> DiG 8.1 <<>> @192.68.0.1 68.192.in-addr.arpa. ns
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; res_send to server 192.68.0.1: Connection timed out
33%
which would generate the results you are seeing.
my suggestions:
1) point to an active nameserver.
2) ensure you are not stomping on someone elses delegation.
