As Mark said, the problem is that the glue record in the COM zone still has
the old address.  WHOIS shows that you changed the address last week:

[No name] (DNS50509-HST)

   Hostname: DNS.HARISHK.COM
   Address: 203.199.40.79
   System: ? running ?

   Coordinator:
      Naidu, Harsh  (HNU348)  hnaidu at LTTRADE.COM
      L&T Traade.com Ltd
      52 F Maker Towers F cuffe
      Mumbai MA, 400 005
      IN
      2180991

   Record last updated on 07-Sep-2001.

But for some reason this change hasn't propagated to the GTLD servers.  You
should contact Register.com or Network Solutions and tell them that this
problem needs to be fixed.
