When you do an nslookup from your own machines, they use the dns server
your machine is set to use.  That may very well be your local machine,
on which the information is correct.  The question is "Can Jeff Lasman
see the new data?

Let's look at what I just found (or more accurately, didn't find) (note
that some of these lines will get wrapped by my email client):

[admin@joshua admin]$ nslookup admins24online.net

*** joshua.ez-access.com can't find admins24online.net: Non-existent

[admin@joshua admin]$ nslookup

[admin@joshua admin]$ whois admins24online.net
<http://www.shellserve.net/>
connecting to whois.internic.net [198.41.0.6] ...
Not found: admins24online.net.

Whois Server Version 1.3

Domain names in the .com, .net, and .org domains can now be registered
with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net
for detailed information.

No match for "ADMINS24ONLINE.NET".

>>> Last update of whois database: Sat, 14 Oct 2000 09:41:05 EDT <<<

The Registry database contains ONLY .COM, .NET, .ORG, .EDU domains and
Registrars.

[admin@joshua admin]$

So, no, the answer is that I can't find anything.  Either your registrar
has screwed up bigtime, or you didn't register the name (Network
Solutions is offering to register it for me), or you didn't pay for it,
or something.

Talk to your registrar.

Or reregister it somewhere else if you can.
