In this tutorial you will learn how to fix nslookup DNS Request Timed Out error.

DNS request timed out means NSLookup submitted the query to the DNS server, but did not get a response. It's possible the DNS server you queried was having a problem and couldn't reply. Network errors could be to blame as well.

The best course of action is to use the correct DNS servers. If the computer you used normally has Internet access, then the DNS servers it's configured to use by default are the correct ones.

Alternatively, if you can create a VPN connection from the machine, you could use that to tunnel DNS requests past the network firewall. Obviously you don't want to do this if it's against the acceptable-use policy for the machine you're using.
