First - have you tried that address in nslookup?
Just type:
nslookup 10.2.6.15
If this does not return the name of the host then the problem is that
you either do not have the DNS setup or it is set up wrong or the host
really does not have a name.

I wish I could help you more but on my machine your address does not
work but address on the net, such as 204.146.18.33 do work. (That
should return something like www.ibm.com if I remember correctly...)
