I just swung over my web site to a new web hosting service, Time Warner.
And I've changed the name servers to reflect this yesterday afternoon
through GoDaddy.Com. Does anyone have an idea when the propagation change
is done?

Thanks,

Tim...

Usually 24-48 hours.

Somewhere between 6 and 48 hours has been my experience. Usually around the
middle of that range.

Max 3 days and it should be finished.

It isn't a set number. Most servers will expire a record between 6 hours
and a week after they cache it. Very few servers will hold it for a week,
but I have seen it. Most will expire it between 12 and 36 hours.

There isn't a set time. It is dependant on your dns records' TTL's.
If you have your TTL's set to 86400 seconds, it'll slowly uncache out of
a properly configured name server 24 hours after it initially cached it.
Until then, that name server will keep the old name until that time is up.
If you planned the move ahead of time with your provider, they may have
lowered your TTL in anticipation of the move (though some servers won't
honor extremely low TTL's and cache for a min time anyways).
And to make it even more confusing there are poorly configure name
servers out there that cache beyond your set TTL's.

So, the answer is, it takes as long as you had it set to possibly take.

If you actually moved name servers as well, you probably need to contact
whoever was hosting your old name service to make sure their servers are no
longer answering authoritatively for your domain (or anyone who happens
to be using that name server for lookups will never get the new information).

I just glanced from a roadrunner connection and from IO and they are handing
out different IP's for texaschainsawmassacre.net so it looks like the TTL's
were not turned down. A dig on a server holding the old info show's the names
cached out with 81709 seconds to go (ie, about 1-2am Friday morning it'll expire).

Also interesting, you have the following three name servers that come up for your
domain:
NS1.BIZ.RR.COM
NS2.BIZ.RR.COM
DNS4.RR.COM

The dns4 system does not give an answer for 'texaschainsawmassacre.net' on first
request. It gives a non-authoritative answer for
'www.texaschainsawmassacre.net' pointing to 66.55.33.114. On the second query
of texaschainsawmassacre.net it gave the 198.66.195.9
IP (which I think is the right one?).

ns2.biz had this to say:
> www.texaschainsawmassacre.net
Server: ns2.biz.rr.com
Address: 24.30.201.19#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.texaschainsawmassacre.net
Address: 198.66.195.9
> texaschainsawmassacre.net
Server: ns2.biz.rr.com
Address: 24.30.201.19#53

Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find texaschainsawmassacre.net: No answer


An ns1.biz.rr.com said this:
> server ns1.biz.rr.com
Default server: ns1.biz.rr.com
Address: 24.30.200.19#53
> texaschainsawmassacre.net

That doesn't look good to me. Your primary, secondary, and tertiary
name servers aren't answering authoritatively, they also aren't
giving out the same address and even though they seem to give out
some address from www.domain, they don't seem to necessarily have an
A record for just the domain name.

I don't know what tricks roadrunner does for their business dns
services, but it was my understanding that if your dns was setup
on those servers, they should be answering authoritatively, every
time, regardless of whether or not everyone else's TTL's have expired. . .
