www service

ok, so if I have it right, my end thus far is not to
blame. Networksolutions needs to setup an A record for my
DNS server that includes the "www" (www.mysite.com). Have
I understood that correctly?

much appreciation,
Benjamin Whiting

Setting up the A record is done by your ISP or whomever runs the DNS server.

i run my own dns server on the web server. like i said, i
can typer in mydomain.com and get the approproiate
content, but <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.mydomain.com" target="_blank">www.mydomain.com</a> is not available. So the
problem IS on my end?

Yes, it is on your end, if you run the DNS-server for your domain. But
earlier in this thread, you said that NetworkSolutions was running your
DNS-server. I think the latter is correct. Talk to the one that administrate
mydomain.com, who that is, can only you answer...
