1. Begin by logging into your “Account Manager” with your Network Solutions login codes at: https://www.networksolutions.com/manage-it/index.jsp

You will now see the “Updates & Alerts” page.

2. Click on “Domains” in the left-hand sidebar. Then click on “Manage Domain Names”.

You will now see the “Domains” page.

3. Scroll down to the “Domain Details” section, and in the “Domain Protect:” section, click on link that says “Turn Off or Request Authorization Code”.

You will now see a “Edit Domain Protect” page.

4. Click the button to the left of “Leave Domain Protect off”, and check the box to the left of “Request Authorization Code”, then click the “Save” button.

You will now be taken back to the “Domain Details” section. You can verify that your transfer protection has been removed by looking at the “Domain Protect:” line, which should say “Off” now. You can also look up your domain name in Gandi's whois search engine. You should now see the following status:

 Status: ok

This means that the domain name can be transferred.

In step 4 above you asked that Network Solutions e-mail you your authorization code. This would have been sent to the e-mail address that you have registered with them for your account.

Log into your mailbox and find the mail from Network Solutions that has the subject, ” Your Authorization Code Request”. In this mail, you will see a line like the following:

Your authorization code is: ktx201

Copy down the code (ktx201 in this example - note that this is a fake code, and will NOT work for your domain). This is the code that you will need to provide to Gandi when you request the transfer from our website.

Go to http://www.gandi.net and follow our standard transfer process for domain names.

You can follow our tutorial on the procedures to transfer a domain name to Gandi at the following page of our wiki: http://wiki.gandi.net/en/domains/transfer
