This is completely normal. Every time you start the namesctl, it will try to connect to the name server. But of course, on the first time, the name server haven't started yet, so namesctl couldn't connect to anything, and it'll return that error message. Just type "start" at the namesctl prompt or "namesctl start" at the UNIX prompt to start the names server.

the error message for NNO 300:

00300, 00000, "no listen addresses specified, at least one is required"

// *Cause: the server's configuration is missing addresses on which to
// listen.
// *Action: An internal error not normally visible to the user.  Contact

Hmm... looks like you didn't specify the port number for the names server to listen on. You have to go back to network manager and reconfigure the names server.
