networksolutions where made a disgrace of before, people used to look up available names and low and behold when you search again they had registered it and if you wanted it, you had to pay more, maybe they are doing this again ?
did this script work earlier or you just pulled it from somewhere on the internet, if so, give a reference, so we can understand where exactly the error (or not) is.
