DNS problem



Hi all,
	when I download netscape, I got the following error from Netscape
4.5:

	Bad Domain

DNS NAME: 
Host Name: november.uws.EDU.AU
IP Address: 137.154.230.60
Your DNS name probably won't be accepted. Click here for more info.


I clicked more info and get the following:
	

General

We could not verify your domain as not known to be foreign, or your domain
could not be resolved by reverse DNS.

You cannot download this software unless your network connection does
reverse DNS, and your domain is not known
to be foreign. You may need to contact your system administrator. 

You can get the Export Version if one exists. 

Detail

This error can come about one of two ways: 

  1.Problem: No DNS Name Resolution

    How You Can Tell: If the DNS NAME line on the error page you received
is numeric, this is your problem,
    because your DNS name could not be resolved from your IP address. 

    What You Can Do: If this is the case, you cannot download the
software. You can contact your system
    administrator to find out why your DNS name cannot be resoved. Trying
again and again won't help. 

  2.Problem: Unsupported Domain

    How You Can Tell: If the DNS NAME in the error page is made of
letters, not numbers, this is your problem. 

    What You Can Do:
    Not much. For the time being, our software is rejecting your domain.
Your sysadmin may be able to explain things,
    but you're probably not going to be able to use this download
mechanism from your current site. 



	Could anyone help plz....


	Thx.


Shao.
