  Hi!

  I’d like to connect wirsprechenonline.wordpress.com to the Domain: Wir-sprechen-Online.DE (which I own).

  I’m now facing a chicken-and-egg-problem:
  – My ISP can’t add the WordPress-nameservers to the Domain as it’s not zoned there.
  – WordPress.com doesn’t add zones as long as there’s no DNS-entry.
  Hmm….

  There’s been a similar problem already:

  Hope, someone can solve it. Meaning: zoning wir-sprechen-online.de at ns*.wordpress.com. Thanks for your help!

  Smile!

  I did, Jennifer. The speciality of DeNIC: they check, if the nameserver you’d like to associate with your domain is prepared for it (zoned).

  I just added the zone – check in a few minutes?

  Thank you, Mark. I’ll tell my ISP to try changing the nameservers again.

  Hi Mark! Hi Nick! Hi Anthony!

  Well, I’ve (we have) finally given up: The DeNIC simply doesn’t accept your nameservers zones for Wir-sprechen-Online.de. We still don’t know why. The funny thing about it: http://zonecheck.denic.de says that everything is fine!?

  Anyway: Thanks a lot for your help! – I’ve finally decided to ignore .de and place the micro-blog at http://Wir-sprechen-Online.com which already works pretty fine.

  Smile!
