Hello, Paul. A really off-toppic question, but easy to figure out what's going on under the hood.
Your old ISP hasn't changed it's name server yet (or not propagated new maps correctly). I consulted the SOA for your domain (srl.org) from here, and it seems to point to the new place (as far as I know). I would bet on the "Smoke and Mirrors" option, to start with. Most of the internet domain name registars provide a nice web-driven interface to change things on your domain. Normally, that website address comes with your documentation for the domain. Please consult your documentation. Presumably, you're using Verisign GRS as your registar. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ [whois.crsnic.net] Whois Server Version 1.3 Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net for detailed information. Server Name: SRL.ORG Registrar: VERISIGN GRS (ORG) Whois Server: whois.verisign-grs.com Referral URL: http://www.verisign-grs.com >>> Last update of whois database: Mon, 17 Feb 2003 05:44:03 EST <<< The Registry database contains ONLY .COM, .NET, .EDU domains and Registrars. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ I hope that helps. Kind regards. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Luis Campos de Carvalho Computer Scientist OCP DBA Oracle & Senior Unix Sys Admin =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Makepeace" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "London.pm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 17, 2003 3:11 PM Subject: Changing namserver whois record > A friend of mine has srl.org which is listed in whois as a nameserver > with a particular IP.
