Yes, you can, as Staff can add a zone record for you. What is the full URL please?
Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew both the domain name purchase where you purchased it and the domain mapping upgrade every year in two different places.

Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

Having a similar problem and I am not finding a KB to fix it. All the KB’s want you to change name servers. I am unwilling to do that as it does not seem like wordpress has support personel. I don’t mind paying the $13 to redirect the wordpress.com domain to my .com domain, but where do I find the IP/cname to place in my dns records.
