Hi Dennis,

Thanks for the reply!

I am confuse more then ever.

DN gave me the ip range from 216.167.12.216 to  216.167.12.223

I deleted the Virtual Site: www.ienc.com

Replace ienc in the Cobalt Server Name field to www. So it now look like:
Cobalt Server Name: www
Domain Name: ienc.com
Primary DNS Server Address: 216.167.12.216
Secondary DNS Server Address: 216.167.12.220


Went to the Control Panel and gone into the DNS Service page.
Modify my ns2.ienc.com to 216.167.12.220

So the result of the page look like.
ienc.com  ->  216.167.12.216
ns1.ienc.com  ->  216.167.12.216
ns2.ienc.com  ->  216.167.12.220
www.ienc.com  -> 216.167.12.216



In the Site Management under the Main Site it look like
www.ienc.com  216.167.2.184

Now this is where I am confuse at.

What you're saying is that I need to change the www.ienc.com ip address to
216.167.12.216. To do this I need to change the interface settings in the
Network page. If I am correct, doing this will result in deny access to the
server management page.

Are you saying that I should go to the Site Management and add two  virtual
site using the Add Virtual Site page? One for ns1.ienc.com and the other for
ns2.ienc.com?


Thanks for your help!
