I assume you mean 'the zone file' when you refer to 'DNS settings'

Add an A record to your DNS, at the beginning of the zone, with the IP
address of the web server.  The start of the file should look like:

company.com.   SOA .........
               NS  .........
               A   <web.server.ip.address>
(there should be an NS record for each of the nameservers)


NOTE:  The web server needs to be reconfigured to know that
http://company.com/ is the same site as http://www.company.com/
