ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER.
- ------    -------------------

     This Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, par value $.001 per
share (the "Common Stock") of Network Solutions, Inc. (the "Issuer"). The
principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 505 Huntmar Park Drive,
Herndon, Virginia 20170.

ITEM 2.   IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
- ------    -----------------------

          (a)-(c) This Schedule 13D is being filed jointly by each of the
following persons pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1) promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ( the "Exchange Act"): (i) Science Applications
International Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("SAIC"); and (ii) SAIC
Venture Capital Corporation, a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of
SAIC ("SVCC" and, together with SAIC, the "Reporting Persons").

          This Schedule 13D is being filed with respect to 14,850,000 shares of
Common Stock previously held directly by SAIC, the ownership of which was
previously reported on Schedule 13G.

          As previously reported by SAIC in its Schedule 13G filed on February
13, 1998, and subsequently amended on March 19, 1999, SAIC directly owned
7,425,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Class
B Common Stock") of the Issuer, convertible into 7,425,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Class A Common Stock") of the
Issuer. On December 31, 1998, the Issuer's Board of Directors approved a
two-for-one stock split of the shares of its Class A Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock, that was effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend distributed
on March 23, 1999 on shares of its Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
outstanding on February 26, 1999. As a result of the stock split, as of March
23, 1999, SAIC owned 14,850,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. On June 3, 1999,
SAIC converted its 14,850,000 shares of Class B Common Stock into 14,850,000
shares of Class A Common Stock. On June 17, 1999, the Issuer filed a Certificate
of Amendment of Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation whereby
its Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock were reclassified as a single
class of Common Stock. Therefore, as of June 17, 1999, SAIC owned 14,850,000
shares of Common Stock.

          On January 19, 2000, SAIC effected the transfer of the 14,850,000
shares of Common Stock to its wholly owned subsidiary, SVCC, as an initial
capital contribution. SVCC's principal office is located at 3900 Paradise Road,
Las Vegas, Nevada 89109. SVCC is a wholly owned venture capital investment
subsidiary of SAIC. SAIC's principal office is located at 10260 Campus Point
Drive, San Diego, California 92121. SAIC provides diversified professional and
technical services and designs, develops and manufactures high-technology
products.

          The following information with respect to each executive officer and
director of SAIC and SVCC is set forth in Appendix A hereto, which is
incorporated herein by reference: (i) name; (ii) business address; (iii)
principal occupation or employment; and (iv) name of any corporation or other
organization in which such employment is conducted, together with the principal
business address of any such corporation or organization other than SAIC or
SVCC for which such information is set forth above.

          (d)-(f) During the last five years, neither SAIC nor SVCC nor, to the
best of their knowledge, any of the persons listed in Appendix A attached hereto
has been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations
and similar misdemeanors) or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such person
was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. To the
knowledge of SAIC and SVCC, each of the individuals listed in Appendix A
attached hereto is a United States citizen.

ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
- ------    -------------------------------------------------

          On January 19, 2000, SAIC effected the transfer of the 14,850,000
shares of Common Stock to its wholly owned subsidiary, SVCC, as an initial
capital contribution.

ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
- ------    ----------------------

          On January 19, 2000, SAIC effected the transfer of the 14,850,000
shares of Common Stock to its wholly owned subsidiary, SVCC, as an initial
capital contribution.

     (a)  SAIC proposes to offer 6,700,000 shares of Common Stock of the
Issuer in a public offering pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3. In
connection with such proposed offering by SAIC, as well as the proposed offering
by the Issuer of 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock and the proposed offering
by other selling stockholders of 30,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer,
the Issuer has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 and Amendment No. 1
thereto with the Commission on December 22, 1999 and December 30, 1999,
respectively.

     (b)-(c)  Not applicable.

     (d) Several officers and employees of SAIC currently serve as directors
of the Issuer. The Issuer has stated in its Amendment No.1 to Registration
Statement on Form S-3, filed with the Commission on December 30, 1999, that it
anticipates that the composition of the Issuer's board of directors will change
in connection with the decrease in SAIC's percentage ownership of the Issuer's
Common Stock as a result of the proposed offering by SAIC of 6,700,000 shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer.

     (e)-(j)  Not applicable.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
- ------    ----------------------------------------

     (a)  SVCC directly owns 14,850,000 shares of Common Stock, which represent
approximately 43.8% of the Common Stock of the Issuer. The calculation
of percentage of beneficial ownership was derived from the Issuer's Amendment
No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-3, filed with the Commission on
December 30, 1999, in which the Issuer stated that the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding as of December 15, 1999 was 33,883,707. For reporting
purposes, SAIC may be deemed the beneficial owner of the shares owned by SVCC.

     (b)  For reporting purposes, SVCC and SAIC may be deemed to share voting
and dispositive powers with respect to the 14,850,000 shares of Common Stock.

     (c)  None.

     (d)  SVCC is a wholly owned subsidiary of SAIC.

     (e)  Not applicable.

ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
- ------    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
          TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
          ---------------------------

     SVCC is a wholly owned subsidiary of SAIC. Pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement between the Issuer and SAIC, if the Issuer proposes to register
any of its securities either for its own account or for the account of its other
security holders, SAIC is entitled to notice of the registration and is entitled
to include, at the Issuer's expense, SAIC's shares in the registration, subject
to cutback by the underwriters. In addition, SAIC may require the Issuer on not
more than two occasions, to register SAIC's shares. The first registration
required by SAIC was effected in February 1999. The second registration

                                  Page 5 of 12

<PAGE>

required by SAIC is the registration being effected with the proposed offering
discussed in Item 4(a) of this Schedule 13D. The Issuer has agreed to indemnify
SAIC in connection with any such registration.

ITEM 7.   MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.
- ------    --------------------------------

          Exhibit A:     Agreement as to Joint Filing of Schedule 13D, dated as
                         of January 19, 2000, between SAIC and SVCC.
