One mistake you are making is this - you are using nslookup as a
debugging tool, which it is not. Look at these lines:
C:\Documents and Settings\admin>nslookup clickonline.net
*** Can't find server name for address 10.0.0.6: Non-existent domain
*** Default servers are not available
Server: UnKnown
Address: 10.0.0.6
*** UnKnown can't find clickonline.net: Server failed
You have your default server as 10.0.0.6. The first thing that nslookup
does is to verify that that address is registered in DNS and that the
nodename it finds points back to 10.0.0.6. In your case, 10.0.0.6
is not registered in DNS (at least nslookup could not find it), so
nslookup (inconveniently) refuses to use 10.0.0.6 as a DNS server, and
nslookup immediately quits.
