  I need the WordPress.com IP addresses because Network Solutions requires IP, not Name, for DNS records.

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

  There is no permanent static IP address for any WordPress.com blog. All IPs are dynamic ie. ever changing. Therefore WordPress.com does not purport to provide static IP addresses. Note what Staff (jeremeylduvall) provides in this thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/looking-for-name-serverip-address?replies=8#post-2091660

  To map to an existing domain see http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Will you please state exactly what it is that you want to accomplish please?

  Thank you for asking for clarification. I have a blog on WordPress.com (myblog.wordpress.com). I want to upgrade to the Map a Subdomain option so that my WordPress hosted blog appears at blog.mywebsite.com. My domain is hosted with Network Solutions. When I try to create a CNAME record with Network Solutions, I’m only able to enter an IP address.

  Is my only option available to use the IP addresses given on the link you shared, and just realize that I’ll have to update them every time they change?

  Thank you,
  Ben
