How to edit Network Solution’s DNS settings to allow no-www

domain-name-system

I have a domain registered through Network Solutions, foo.com. I have it setup to point to a Blogger account I have setup. I followed the instructions at:

It loads http://www.foo.com fine.

But when I goto http://foo.com, it redirects to a subdomain that no longer exists (example: http://abc.foo.com). I think it's from an old DNS setting I had setup at 1&1 hosting a while ago. I no longer have access to my 1&1 account, so I can't view what DNS settings were in place.

How do I edit the DNS Settings at Network Solutions so that http://foo.com also points to where http://www.foo.com also points to?

DNS and HTTP are completely separate protocols.

HTTP handles redirects. So if the url is changing (redirect) it's in the HTTP Server configuration.

DNS handles A & C-Name records; and the default record for foo.com must exist as it redirect. Sounds like DNS is setup correctly (probably).
