Internet explorer problem - changes .com to .co.uk

    When I type google.com into IE it automatically switches and goes to google.co.uk

    How do I stop this from happening? My problem is I'm trying to get into the Abercrombie.com website but when I type it in I get directed to the UK website where items are twice as expensive.

    Any suggestions? I changed the IE langauge to English (US) but it didn't help

    This is a long shot but did you erase the IE History? If you do that, I think your problem will be solved.

    Are you using a proxy?
    If it is an UK based proxy then it will pick up UK settings....if you know what i mean.

    It's something that the server does. It attempts to guess your location, then redirects you to what it thinks is the best suited site.

    Try going directly there:
    http://www.abercrombie.com/anf/lifestyles/html/homepage.html

    When sites do this, you usually find that the .com site specifically says that they won't deliver outside of the U.S. This is so they can extract more money out of European customers.
