DNS issue with domain registrar

I bought two sites a few weeks ago and I'm having a hell of a time transferring the DNS settings. The domains are registered at namecheap.com so we just did a push to my account to transfer the names to me.

So that went well and worked fine. However I have set the new name servers and in the namecheap.com admin section it shows my name servers, when I whois the domain my name servers show up. However the domain is still going to the old server.

The first name did this, and it took a few tries (2 days) to get it to finally point at my server. Now I try to point the second domain and it's been 3 days with several tries yet it still points at the old server.

I've contacted their support and so far only received one e-mail asking if the name servers listed were right.. Which they were but they aren't going there. So I pointed it out and haven't received another reply.

The only solution I can come up with is to transfer the domain to one of my other registrars.. Anyone else run into this problem before? Gotta solution?

I also want to say I bought a site with a name registered at namecheap.com about a month ago and I was able to change it's DNS setting with no issues at all. So this seems to be some issue that has come up in the last 2 weeks.

goto www.dnsstuff.com
Use the "DNS lookup" and do a Query on the "A" record

Does it show your new DNS servers?

Its a 90% chance your isp cached the old dns servers and hasn't updated them

This has nothing to do with ISP cache, I play with a lot of domains and know about that.. We are talking 3 days anyway.. my ISP may be a little slow but not 3 days.

I had an issue a bit like this. All my clients were transferred and within hours everything was up EXCEPT for one LA client on Road Runner. From home, she accessed her site, but from the office 4 miles away, the site was no where to be found.

Home was RoadRunner home, office was business. The tech finally admitted that biz was only updated ONCE a week !!!!! serving sites from the cache.

yea here's a strange one.. just for the hell of it I just booted up my laptop and it goes to the correct page. Yet my main PC here is still hitting the old server.

I've cleared my history and all that good stuff too. Very strange, I've never had this issue before.
