  We need the following information in order to help you:
  1 What is the .wordpress sub-domain URL starting with http:// for the blog your are domain mapping from to your domain.

  2. What is the domain URL starting with http:// for the domain.

  3. Domain mapping is not an instantaneous process it can take up to 72 hours for the domain name change to propagate throughout the internet after you complete the process of updating your primary domain. What we Volunteers fin is that sometimes bloggers fail to complete all the steps in the process. Have you updated your primary domain yet or not? Have you followed all the steps?

  5. To activate your new domain, select the button next to the one you wish to activate and click Update Primary Domain. Your blog will be accessible from both of these domains; the Primary Domain is what actually appears as your domain within the address bar of web browsers. If you do not see your blog at the new domain immediately, please allow some time for the DNS changes to propagate. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/register-domain/#instructions-for-registering-a-new-domain-for-your-blog
