Dedicated Server DNS Issue

I just purchased one of the servers that the planet offers. I went in to "edit setup" and then proceeded to assign nameservers to the server.

It would not accept them. It tells me "Sorry, the nameserver ns1.mydomain.com already has the ip xx.xxx.xx.xx assigned to it.

I ran a search here for the issue and found where someone said to just change it to dns1.mydomain.com and then change it back once I made the change and my registrar.

It would accept dn1.mydomain.com as the primary but when I tried to assign dns2.mydomain.com as the secondary it tells me
"Sorry, you are out of ips to assign as nameservers "

Questions are:

1) Why would it not allow the primary to be set as ns1.mydomain.com to start with? I have IP Sharing on!

2) How can I get it to accept ns1.mydomain.com?

3). Why is it tell me "Sorry, you are out of ips to assign as namservers" when I know that I have 10 ip address?

any thoughts or ideas? I have searched the forums here and someone suggested that I ssh into the server which I did.

All you need to do is edit /etc/nameserverips and put your Nameservers to the IPs you've assigned them. If the file is blank then run:

WHM > Server Setup > Manage Nameserver IPs

and then edit the file.
I login as root and get "permission denied" when I try to edit the file.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
