do the name servers you are changing to already exist? ie are you moving a domain from one ISP to another? or are you trying to set up brand new name servers?

I moved hosting and I need to change the existing name servers..

ahh. ok.

shit, i'm not sure any more. i thought you could do it through "manage account" but they require some account number now? wtf.

sorry it took so long to respond. netsol.com is painfully slow (worst registrar ever, btw). if you can move your domain to another registrar, go for it - it will be infinitely easier to move your domains then.

Those guys are assholes, and they've changed their interface again within the last 3 months, so i dunno.

However, you can call them directly and they do have operators who can answer questions (at least, they do now).

You may want to consider transferring to a registrar that does dynamic dns switching. i heard about a company recently that is not a registrar, that you can point to for very fast, on the fly dns switching [dyndns.org] although most hosts aren't used to an extra layer, and it could cause problems if they make stupid assumptions.

VeriSign gets two-week warning

By Frank Barnako, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: 9:40 AM ET Sept. 4, 2002

RESTON, Va. (CBS.MW) -- The exclusive registrar for the Internet's dot-com domain has been given two weeks to clean up its record keeping or face losing the right to sell Web site addresses.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers warned VeriSign (VRSN: news, chart, profile) because it "blatantly ignored" warnings to fix inaccuracies in the Whois database, which contains information as to a domain's ownership. Brian O'Shaughnessy, a VeriSign spokesman, said the company will fix the problems immediately but contested whether ICANN's citation of 17 inaccuracies over 18 months shows a pattern of abuse, the Washington Post reported. "It's like holding a few grains of sand in your hand and calling it a beach," he said.
