    Problem in Changing Nameservers

    Hi. I have two .org domains and three .com domains in GoDaddy. I selected all of them and changed the nameserver to ns1.sth.com and ns2.sth.com
    The three .com domains started to work immediately. However even after 3 days the two .org domains are not going to my site, rather they point to the parking page of Godaddy.
    I saw the status of my domains in Godaddy control panel. All the five domains are set active. But when I check whois, it shows that .com domains are active but status of .org domains are set like this:
    StatusELETE PROHIBITED
    Status:RENEW PROHIBITED
    Status:TRANSFER PROHIBITED
    Status:UPDATE PROHIBITED

    Howcan this be? My Godaddy Control panel shows the .org domains are active and whois shows them as update prohibited.
    Although Godaddy control panel shows the .org domains active, I tried unlocking them. Even then whois shows status as update prohibited and the nameservers I change donot work (instead keeps pointing to godaddy parking page).
    How can I solve the problem? Or have I missed anything important to do? (I am a newbie)
    I would be grateful to your help.

    Do the following. It's most likely not GoDaddy's problem, rather your ISP. The .org status in the whois is normal.

    Start => Run => Type cmd => Type ipconfig /flushdns => Open a new browser window

    Post back if it did / didn't work

    The registrar lock is probably turned on (which is normal), you may need to turn it off, change the nameservers, you should turn it on again afterwards
    I buy domains with javascript backlinks. PM me.

    Most likely you should be able to edit domain names at your current registrar while the domain is locked.

    The only thing you shouldn't be able to do is transfer the name without first removing the lock.

    The domains are set active and they are not locked. Even then I can not change nameservers. The GoDaddy account shows that the domains are not locked but whois shows that are locked (or prohibited to update).
    Please HELP me. I am a newbie.

    I tried one by one. And I repeated twice. But each time I change the nameserver, it shows the same parking server names after a few days.

    make sure you are selecting "enter your own nameservers" , and make sure you are using the "save changes" button , and not the "add new nameservers" button.

    Yes, I did exactly what you are saying. I am sure.
    What could be the problem?

    Re: Problem in Changing Nameservers

    when you pull up the nameserver change screen for the domain, does it have your new nameservers showing already in the box? if so then the change has been made and don't worry what whois says.

    No. when I pull up the nameserver change screen for the domain, it doesn't have the new nameservers showing already in the box. It shows the old parking nameservers of GoDaddy (PARK23.SECURESERVER.NET and PARK24.SECURESERVER.NET).
