Dns Stuff

I've never had to change any of these settings before..

I have the following DNS settings that i was asked to change to.

ns1.dreamhost.com 66.33.206.206
ns2.dreamhost.com 66.201.54.66
ns3.dreamhost.com 66.33.216.216

The domain is currently with yahoo and i want to transfer it over to dreamhost.

Yahoo have three things,

A (address) and CNAME Records
MX Records
NameServers

Currently they say

A: Yahoo IP
A: Yahoo IP
CNAME: Yahoo Hostname
CNAME: Yahoo Hostname

When I tried to change all of the above only one was changing.

MX Records - to do with mail right? this stays as it is.

NameServers

3 of them primary, secondary n summit else....these have been changed to

ns1.dreamhost.com
ns2.dreamhost.com
ns3.dreamhost.com

Hasn't been a full 24hrs yet but the site is still down and hasnt transfered over.

Am i doing this right, or have i screwed it all up. Any pointers please.

name servers are the ones you want to change over to ns1.dreamhost.com etc - Leave the mx records alone.
It can take 24 hours or more to see the change, but lately theyve been updating in a couple of hours.
