I have been trying ''host'' and ''dig'' commands in the terminal but when I try ''dig'' I get an answer like this: ; <<>> DiG 9.7.0-P1 <<>> bw-in-f103.1e100.net ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 45678 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;bw-in-f103.1e100.net.

See the "AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0" There's nothing to be displayed I guess. I get similar results, only something like" dig com. NS" for example gives the additional part, and without the NS or "dig myip.opendns.com" I get an authority response. Don't know why, first time I've used dig, sorry Oh this is strange,when I run dig com. again the authority is missing, other domains like net. or org. only work the first time too...
