I'm pretty sure you need to manually configure the name server for NIE 1.1
(not usually necessary for NIE 2.0).
your ISP should provide you with the numerical IP address for name server.
you'd enter that into the "Name Server IP Address" field in the NIE 1.1
setup --
see the NIE 1.1 User Guide for step-by-step instructions.
