Peter, I had a similar problem with one of my domains a number of months ago. It turned out that network solutions was providing old information about my name servers that they retrieved from a global database. I hadn't updated the IP addresses associated with the name servers with the new ISP since it wasn't on their domain transfer form--I assumed they would do a forward lookup to resolve the names. I was wrong. The new ISP defaulted to using the old network solutions data rather than a forward lookup of the names I entered. It took quite some time and a long call to network solutions to figure out that this is what was going on. You might double check with your new registrar and see if there's a form you haven't filled out yet to set the IP addresses associated with your name servers. Now, if only I could remember the URL to the page that allowed querying of the global name server database...
