By running "nslookup hostname", your asking the DNS server to resolve a non existing hostname called "hostname".

Syntax is:

Terminal

nslookup <HOSTNAME_THAT_YOU_WANT_TO_RESOLVE_TO_AN_IP_ADDRESS> <DNS_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS>

Looking at the response from nslookup that you posted before, it looks like the IP address for your DNS server is "1.1.1.1" but you can check by running below one:

Everything I provided in my terminal output is an example. My hostname is not "hostname" and my DNS does not reside at "1.1.1.1". I only used those values to demonstrate the issues I'm seeing when I input the real values.

The real problem probably lies somewhere in XBian's DHCP client, since the DNS only serves the A records it has created as a result of DHCP integration (I'm using DNSMasq).

Last time I was able to narrow it down to issues with the /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf file, and I will continue to try to identify the problem here, but this time, the dhclient.conf file has the correct data.
