  Hi – I have my name servers pointed to ns1…, etc. and my blog is resolving properly when the url is visited.

  I am not trying to make my Network Solutions email work through WP’s advanced DNS setting. Below is what I have entered (and validated), yet my email is not working.

  MX 10 INBOUND.HBNEIGHBORS.COM.NETSOLMAIL.NET.
  CNAME MAIL HBNEIGHBORS.COM.NETSOLMAIL.NET.
  CNAME SMTP HBNEIGHBORS.COM.NETSOLMAIL.NET.

  Any idea what I am doing wrong?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  As far as I’m aware, that has never worked with a WordPress.com blog, but here are the custom DNS instructions: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/custom-dns/

  Hi there,

  You’ve almost got them right! Here’s the official support page for NetSol:

  Just let me know if you run into any errors!
