   Hi!

   I'd like to connect wirsprechenonline.wordpress.com to the Domain: Wir-sprechen-Online.DE (which I own).

   I'm now facing a chicken-and-egg-problem:
   - My ISP can't add the WordPress-nameservers to the Domain as it's not zoned there.
   - WordPress.com doesn't add zones as long as there's no DNS-entry.
   Hmm....

   There's been a similar problem already:

   Hope, someone can solve it. Meaning: zoning wir-sprechen-online.de at ns*.wordpress.com. Thanks for your help!

   Smile!

   I assume you have read this in the FAQs

   I did, Jennifer. The speciality of DeNIC: they check, if the nameserver you'd like to associate with your domain is prepared for it (zoned).

   I just added the zone - check in a few minutes?

   Thank you, Mark. I'll tell my ISP to try changing the nameservers again.

   Hi Mark! Hi Nick! Hi Anthony!

   Well, I've (we have) finally given up: The DeNIC simply doesn't accept your nameservers zones for Wir-sprechen-Online.de. We still don't know why. The funny thing about it: http://zonecheck.denic.de says that everything is fine!?

   Anyway: Thanks a lot for your help! - I've finally decided to ignore .de and place the micro-blog at http://Wir-sprechen-Online.com which already works pretty fine.

   Smile!
