Thanks to everyone for replying to me on this. The answer was provided to me
in a reply from Olaf M. Kolkman, the maintainer for NET::DNS:
All these tests are skipped for good reasons, you do not have to
worry about them.
The IP address is the IP address of your box. Its a private IP
address, an indication that you may be using a NAT. Being behind a
NAT is a common case for failure.
If I understand NAT correctly my DSL modem is also acting as a router thus
providing the Network Address Translation.
