What server have you got?
You must register you domain name as a nameserver with your registrar,

You have to register it with your registrar. In the OpenSRS panel you can add your own nameserver based on you domain under the nameserver settings.

At Network Solutions there is a host form somwhere for this, don't know how this work with other registrars.

I'll just copy from the other post. If you are running a RaQ, follow this:

1. From the server admin panel, click on control panel. Choose parameters next to the DNS menu.

2. From the DNS menu, click on "Select Domain or Network" and choose the domain you wish to add the name server to. For this reply, I'm going to use yourdomain.com.

3. After choosing your domain, click on "Add" and choose "Address (A) Record".

4. Under the "Host Name" box, type in "ns1".

5. Under IP Address, type in your first IP address.

6. Check the box that says "Automatic Reverse Address Record Generation".

7. Click "Update List".

Now you have created your first name server. To create the next, repeat steps 3-7, but type in "ns2" for the host name and the second IP for the IP address.
