Package: whois
Version: 5.0.0
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man1/whois.1.gz

We read

    NOTES
       Please remember that whois.networksolutions.com by default will only 
search in the domains database. If you  want
       to  search  for  NIC  handles  you  have  to  prepend a ! character. 
When you do this, the default server becomes
       whois.networksolutions.com.

$ whois !218.162.0.0
No whois server is known for this kind of object.
$ whois ! 218.162.0.0
No whois server is known for this kind of object.

Therefore please show in the SYNOPSIS where the user should append the !
to: [!]bla or [[!]bla].

Obviously you are not searching for NIC handles (nor for domains, nor on
whois.networksolutions.com).
It is not a program bug that you try random commands with no
understanding of what you are doing.
