I have two windows 10 pro boxes, both with Bind 9.12.3 tools installed.  On one 
machine, entering "dig" by itself gives me back the root server list as 
expected.  On the other machine, I get an error that says no name servers could 
be contacted.

However, if I specify the local name server on that second machine by entering 
dig @192.168.1.250, I get the root server list.

My logic says that since I can talk to the recursive server, I don't have a 
firewall issue.  Instead, BIND is not finding the list of name servers (by 
reading the registry)?   I tried putting in a resolv.conf file in 
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc with contents:

nameserver 192.168.1.250
nameserver 192.168.1.251
nameserver 8.8.8.8

And that made no difference.  Running the command prompt as an administrator 
makes no difference.   At this point I'm stumped and welcome any suggestions.
