I would take care to ensure that all data that relates to a domain is
up-to-date at all times, including whois. If you cannot update this
using Network Solution's automated systems (try
http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/makechanges/itts/host ), then
call or write NSI and describe your problem, and ask them to update
their records.

Also, assign a coordinator to your domain. It will make life a whole
lot easier.
