You have domain mapping active for your domain name - you can change the name servers to point to your new host - and the registration remains here - this is not domain mapping.

If you want to transfer the domain name to ning then they need to be a registrar that can accept domain transfers (WordPress.COM for instance can register a domain name but can't accept an existing name into it's system) - if you are transferring your domain name to ning the transfer needs to be started on their end.

The name server info should come from your new host. something that looks something like ( ns1.your-host.com )

I figured i had to initiate it with ning so i tried to set up the domain mapping from there but they give me an error message saying "There were some problems with your domains
Your A record for crowdblend.com points to 76.74.254.120, but it should point to 208.82.16.68.". Ning says the problem is with wordpress, I dont know what this means ive tried everything to get it to work ive unlocked my dns ive already gotten the authorization code i even read the wordpress instructions to domain mapping. Is it something wrong with my ip address or is it because i dont know what to put in the nameserver box in domain management? any help would be greatly appreciated.
