These two errors are normal and benign on an NT machine.  I am running NT 
4.0 sp3 and get these and named still runs correctly.

I use another tool instaed of nslookup so I'm wondering where nslookup gets 
the default nameserver address from.  If it's your TCP/IP settings I'm 
wondering if you have those set right and if named is binding to the 
address you have in those settings.  I set mine to bind to a specific 
address in named.conf since I have a multi homed server and I only wanted 
named on one ip.

Purhaps if you showed us your named.conf file we could be of more help.
