Default Cannot enter name server

I got my domain name via dynadot.com When I try to enter the name server as 69.64.49.24
it says:

The name server you entered is not in the correct format. An example of a valid name server is 'ns1.myhost.com'.

You need to use your own nameservers. Forumer does not give you any.

I'm getting an error screen now: http://www.notyetforum.com/

Is this normal?

Now you add the domain within the Admin CP

Which Admin CP? The forumer one? I can't find anything there. My forumer address is:
http://notyet.7.forumer.com/

and in fDomain I just see the Step 1, Step 2.

Quote:
Step 2: Forumer Domain Setup

Please log-in by using the forum admin page. (error code #3)

Note: After you add your domain, it will start working within 1 hour.
You can also setup subdomain.yourdomain.com.
You will need to point your subdomain.yourdomain.com to this IP: 69.64.49.24
"Status: Selected" means that will become the default URL of your forum.

Then you are mostly f--ked. That error is rarely solved.

OK I give up on this method. What if I was to use DomainExplorer? Would it be more likely to work then?

Thanks for helping out Snat. I will check back later to see when Forumer resolves this issue as other people seem to be having the same problem.

Heh, I posted about this error in Aug 2005 (If I remember rightly). It seems this is a really hard bug to kill.
