named: No response from Server

[Stef Hoesli Wiederwald <debian@sos.ethz.ch>]

Few days ago I setup a machine withe Debian 2.0 r3. I have named
running on that machine, since it will be connected to the internet
later. Right now its just part of my private network
192.168.1.0. After installation, named ran fine, and could resolve the
two hosts I put into /etc/hosts. After I rebooted the machine, named
does not work properly anymore:

two:~> nslookup 
Default Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

> set debug
> tod
Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

;; res_mkquery(0, tod.hoes.li, 1, 1)
timeout
timeout
timeout
timeout
*** localhost can't find tod: No response from server
> 

Any idea, what could be the problem?
