i have disabled ipv6. using ie for browser.

etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 1.2.3.4 - my isp
nameserver 2.3.4.5 - my isp
options single-request
options timeout:1

zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca";};

zone "2.168.192.in-addr.arpa." IN {
type master;
file "192.168.2.db";
allow-update { key "rndc-key"; };
notify yes;};

zone "aaa.com." IN {
type master;
file "aaa.db";
allow-update { key "rndc-key"; };
notify yes;
};


options {
listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; };
listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; };
directory "/var/named";
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
memstatistics-file "/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt";
allow-query { localhost; localnets;};
recursion yes;

dnssec-enable yes;
dnssec-validation yes;
dnssec-lookaside auto;

any help would be appreciated.

You have all that in your /etc/resolv.conf file?

I would suggest changing your resolv.conf file to read ONLY:

nameserver 1.2.3.4
nameserver 2.3.4.4

No, that isn't, or shouldn't be resolv.conf. Looks like a config for BIND. Of course, if you did out that in resolv.conf almost anything might happen, as some of it is bound to be syntax errors of various types.

When you have that sorted out, what does 'dig' say?

If you want to disable ipv6 properly, remove this line as well

i tried a lot of combinations before i posted here and commenting out the ipv6 didn't make a difference. i'll keep at it.
