[ale] nslookup

I'm trying to set up a nameserver for our company.  I read the
NAG and set up all the input files for named.  The server appears
to be responding correctly to queries from a test machine, however,
nslookup from the test machine doesn't produce any IP addresses.
If I run nslookup from the nameserver itself it provides IP addresses
for hostnames but if I run nslookup from another machine I get :

nslookup - [nameserver]
*** Can't find server name for address [nameserver]: No response from server
*** Default servers are not available

Keep in mind that the nameserver appears to be answering queries from
this machine correctly.  Ok, enlighten me.  By the way, thank you to 
all who answered my previous (silly) question about the 'top' command
with a straight face :).
