WordPress MU

I didn't really know how to search for this in the forums as I don't know the technical terms for what I am asking. Sorry if this is a repost.

So what I've figured out is that blogname.domain.com is virtual under WPMU. I've talked to my hosting provider and was told mod_rewrite is enabled and .htaccess files are used for instructions (had a host that only used php.ini files before).

I am unable to access blogname.domain.com for blogs I create. I don't know where to begin troubleshooting this. I have read through the README and followed the instructions, but I don't know where to go next. I don't even know what information I can provide to be helpful for people that can help me troubleshoot this.

If you have any suggestions or advice on how to tackle this problem, that would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You need to get wildcard subdomains going. Check the readme.txt included in the package.

Awww, crap. This isn't my hosting, and I just found out that they don't allow wildcard DNS entries. It's my friend's and she doesn't intend to have more than six blogs. Is there a way to just redirect on the six subdomains? I don't imagine a lot of traffic, because this is a blog system for her family.
