Using namecheaps DNS settings how do you set it up so that anyone going to "www.example.com" get 301 redirected to "example.com"

I've tried several ways and this is what I have currently, but it doesn't see to be working.

Its working for me.
I have tried with my domain to redirect to google.com for testing, its getting redirected when I entered into my domain.
I think you should change Type "A Record" to "URL Redirect Record".

Do it from within cpanel, not from the domains dashboard. It's easy.

DNS redirects are not 301....they are cnames or such. For 301's better set up .htaccess on the root folder of the source domain.
