I don't think the client itself is the issue. If I'm thinking of
the same thing Mike B. is, doing a whois query doesn't always return
useful information, like it used to.
NetSol queries sometimes return pages of legal mumbo-jumbo without
much at all about the actual domain name being asked about. I started
using whois.geektools.com a while back, which I think helped for a
while, but I've never found a reliable way to get the kind of
information that used to be easily available from a whois query.
