Hi Andy

Sorry if this has already been said but I'm still an hour away from my 
coffee.

If you'd like to host your records with your ISP then you'd need to 
change the name servers to point to thiers. (or get your ISP to remove 
the records from thier nameservers and keep the records with network 
solutions, which ever is easier)

   Domain servers in listed order:

   NS41.WORLDNIC.COM            205.178.190.21
   NS42.WORLDNIC.COM            205.178.189.21

These should display your ISP's nameservers the only way to do this 
looks to by contacting networksolutions and requesting the change. The 
reason you are seeing them as changed already is most likely because 
your ISP has already added the records to thier nameservers and your 
using thier servers to resolve. Try doing the whois from a different 
connection and you'll see the correct result or use dig as described by 
Ian.

Hope this helps and that I haven't just repeated what someone else has said.

Cheers

Kurt
