Facts:  I own WETWORK.NET, registered with the register.com registrar.
        I own LETOH.COM, registered with network solutions registrar.


20-oct          I register a domain LETOH.COM with network solutions,
                and attempt to use the nameserver "server.wetwork.net"
                which is under my register.com domain wetwork.net.
                Network solutions says to [NIC-991020.1545c]:
                ERROR: Name Server <SERVER.WETWORK.NET>is not registered 
                with InterNIC.

20-oct          I send in a host template [NIC-991020.15848] but NetSol
                says:
                The <WETWORK.NET> domain is non-existent.

                First register this host through the host registration 
                process or choose a different name-server.
                
                AT THE SAME TIME I get another mail message from them:
                All Host Forms must be submitted from the e-mail address 
                of the current host contact...we have sent a notification 
                message ...  which they did not send anywhere I can tell.

22-oct          I sent mail to help () internic net and asked them to fix this.
                
26-oct          Netsol says:
                The problem with your HOST registration was that you were 
                trying to register a host but the TOP-Level part of the host 
                is not a registered domain, i.e.WETWORK.NET.

26-oct          I wrote netsol and said:
                Wetwork.net exists.. just not with your registry.

                However, I wish to use mail.wetwork.net as a DNS server
                with your registry future domains.  Please register the host asap.

27-oct          Help () internic net says to send in a host template and
                includes one in the message...

27-oct          I submit the host template [NIC-991027.75ef].  I also
                follow it up to help@ with:
                991027.75ef duplicates 991020.15848 as per your request.

27-oct          Once again I get the 'All host forms must be submitted
                from the email address of the current host contact...'

27-oct          I forward the mess back to help@internic [NIC-991027.14981]
                I forward a copy to kimh@ with header
                Subject: 1. I submit host form. 2 you reject it. 
                3 I ask for help. 4 help says submit host templte. I DO.  
                Here's the rejection again.  Please fix

27-oct          help@ responds with:

                Thank you for contacting Network Solutions.

                To register a domain name in the COM, NET, ORG, and EDU 
                top-level domains, you should:

                1.  Make arrangements for Internet service. A company that 
                can connect you to the Internet
