Network Solutions is a terrible domain registrar which you should not use.

This has been a summary of my day. There's something wrong with their website; it kept rolling back the old WHOIS and DNS data after I'd input new stuff. No, the problem was not with the fucking propagation. I would click submit on the actual form on the actual goddamn Network Solutions website, go back a minute later to add another record, and find that it had reverted all my changes. This happened over and over.

I just glanced in there again and it's switched the school's mailing address back to the old one again.

FUCKING WITH THE "A" RECORDS WITH MY BARE HANDS IS UNSETTLING ENOUGH WITHOUT THIS SHIT. Far cheaper DNS services than your own are capable of configuring this shit automatically, why did you even make me start digging around in there to begin with!?

If the person responsible for selecting this registrar were still with the school, I would be sending them the meanest possible email, as soon as the MX records finished propagating.

FUCKING NETWORK SOLUTIONS THAT MISERABLE PIECE OF SHIT REGISTRAR WHICH I BECAME ALL TOO FAMILIAR WITH DURING MY DAYS AT AN ALSO LOUSY BUT NOT QUITE THAT LOUSY REGISTRAR WHOSE THEME COLORS ARE ORANGE AND GREEN. NETSOL NEEDS TO DUMP ITSELF IN A BUCKET OF PINESOL AND THEN SIT THERE GLUBBING MISERABLY WHILST FIXING ITS BUSINESS PRACTICES PRONTO.

I swear that the only one I've found that's worth using is NearlyFreeSpeech. And they're not even primarily a registrar.

I keep hearing good things about them.

They're really expensive compared to something like HostGator, but more transparent about exactly what you're paying for, and much easier to work with when you're doing something persnickety.
