I just typed
nslookup in both Unix as well as WinXP prompts and following are the
results which I got
In Unix:
nslookup
Default Server: lurch.cns.syr.edu
Address: 128.230.12.5

In WinXP:
H:\>nslookup
Default Server: pitana.ad.ecs.syr.edu
Address: 128.230.208.13

nslookup on Windows and from the BIND package are two different
pieces of software with the same name - they split a long time ago,
and now have somewhat different feature sets and behaviors.

However, what you're showing us here is just two different
workstation configurations - each one is using a different resolving
name server.

Those are the IP addresses of the DNS server mentioned in the line
above. All this means is that the WinXP and Unix environments have
different default DNS servers configured.
