GC's News server has been down for some time now.  No telling when it 
will be re-activated.

That means there is already an account created with that domain name, 
but a *different* password.  Most likely, you got that far in an 
earlier attempt without realizing it, and you've forgotten the 
original password.  Or, less likely, someone else has set up that 
account before you.

Either way, if you can't figure out the password used to create the 
account you are pretty much hosed.  You could try sending an email 
directly to Steve Senator asking for a password reset - search for 
his past posts to this group on deja.com to see if he posted his 
email address.

Otherwise, you could try www.centralinfo.net.  They also offer free 
primary DNS, with the only negative being that both their servers are 
on a single sub-net.

That's no good, it means you are creating a zone for 
"www.comeshopping.to", which would have to be delegated from the 
(non-existant) comeshopping.to zone.

Right.  If the domain name is "www.comeshopping.to", you can only 
define names that end in "www.comeshopping.to", like 
"mail1.www.comeshopping.to".

Delete this setup.

Nope.
