      *** Unknown can't find ping: non existent domain.

      You are asking your name server to resolve the name "ping"? What do you suppose that will do?

      Anyhow, the reason for the "unknown" name for your dns server is that there is no PTR record for 192.168.1.1.in-addr.arpa. Without a reverse lookup zone configured you will see this error. To resolve it, create a reverse lookup zone on your DNS server.

        If you are network admin look in server manual or documentation. If not, contact your network admin or ISP. But if you are getting DNS why worry?

          What are your settings? How are you getting onto the web? Do you have a router? Which model?

          The more info you give us the better we can help
