    google.com and google.co.uk

    Just noticed that when I type google.com on my laptop it sends me to google.co.uk Now if I do this on my home pc it goes to google.com when that is typed in. I can also access google.co.uk separately too. Any idea why this happens??

    Not a major issue but just wandering why it happens.

    Are we talking the same browser? (all be it on different machines)?
    Do your DNS settings differ?
    Do you have a google account signed in on one of them?

    google automatically does it based on location, but if you told it once to not bother, or you use the firefox etc search bar, it goes straight to the .com

    Same browser different machines. I have laos check on my sisters laptop and it does the same as my laptop -> you type www google com in and it goes to the .co.uk one.

    No google accounts at all just msn on. The 2 laptops connect via wireless card to the router, and the pc is connected directly to the router.

    I mean there is nothing wrong is there ?
