Is DNS properly configured (resolv.conf(5))? Is the hostname correctly registered in DNS? Do you manage the DNS server? Do you manage the domain? Is it some local 'private' domain or a properly registered internet domain?

Yes DNS is properly configured, Yes the hostname is correctly registered in DNS, Yes we manage DNS server, its local 'private' domain.

C:\Users\abhijit_dhamane>nslookup hostname.server.de
Server:  UnKnown

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
*** UnKnown can't find datascantest.server.knhmn.de: Non-existent domain

Server:  UnKnown
Address:  x.x.x.x

Name:    hostname.server.de
Address:  x.x.x.x

This is the output we are getting with IP I can get hostname but with hostname I cannot get IP.

What does this have to do with FreeBSD?

My guess is your dns server is not setup right but don’t really know. You are better off asking your ISP’s support line or on networking related forums such as reddit r/network or something where you may find people who know more about networking on winDOS.
