Mine is Melbourne IT and they wouldn't do it for me.
Put very simply, and this is the extent of my understanding, that when someone types in www.wamug.org.au the browser goes and searches for the name www.wamug.org.au in the big internet cohuna's little black book and alongside that name is the IP address of the actual server that is hosting that domain name. Then the browser says thank you to the big internet cohuna, and goes and finds that particular server machine and gets the information to display to you. There are a couple of components to the domain name - the viewable web address, and the email addresses associated with that domain name. I may not be correct, but the CNAME is the web address and the MX record is the mail side of things. Entering your domain name at MobileMe is only one part of the story and AFAIK only sets up their servers ready to accept your domain name and serve your domain pages correctly. There are people in ISP and domain registration companies that make these changes all the time and really know what they are doing. I don't. I was told I needed to make the changes myself, so used a website called www.zonedit - link is in my initial posting. I suggest you go there. Create an account and read their help files. I will be a steep learning curve, but heck, I managed it so it is not totally impossible. :-) Hope that helps, and that other more experienced people will guide you much better than I have.
