(as did MU). If you want to force it on the www then change your site & home URL to www before installing the network. If you force it on the www, a WordPress network won't respond to the non-www URL. WordPress will respond to the www. (as did MU).

Is this the correct location or where else should I make the change. I have the .htaccess setup.

But now you can install it with the www from the start. When this post was written, you could not. MU woudl strip out the www regardless of what was done. in 3.0 it's all been fixed. Yep.

Plus all the admin emails don't include the www regardless of your site URL settings, so it is quite annoying unless you include those lines in your .htaccess Right, but if you try going to www after enabling your site it trys to take you to the bog registration form.

This adds www to your main site, but doesn't touch subdomains. Add the "www" to "domain" & "site url" settings of the main blog (Network -> Sites -> Edit). I then added the following to my .htaccess: (let's see how code shows up in the comments) #redirect to www for the main site RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com RewriteRule ^ http://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] Obviously change "domain" to your domain.
