    Trying to access a .com websote but it auto-redirects to .co.uk

    Is there any way to bypass this?

    trying to get to: www.abercrombie.com

    sends me to: http://www.uk.abercrombie.com/anf/index.html

    quite annoying

    same here. im guessing its a site redirect based on the ip. try a proxy in the us to see if it lets you in. otherwise theres nothing you can do. except tell the webmaster to let you see the .com site...

    I tried my proxy in NL and it doesn't redirect.

    May be try using cache in google, or try go straight into Men (or Women) section and I don't think it redirect you once you're in there.

    I suppose some sites just have to make it localized
    That is the only thing I don't like about google..

    Hey I'm having loads of problems with this too. Does anyone have a US proxy I can use to try and access the site?

    Thanks

    Firefox:
    Tools -> Options... -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings...
    Select 'Manual Proxy Configuration'
    Put The IP in the first box, and the port in the second box,
    Click Ok and restart firefox,

    IE:
    Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings
    Tick 'Use a proxy server for your lan...'
    Put the IP in the first box, and the port in the second box
    Click Ok and restart ie

    not sure then :\

    There is a way to determine the real IP, so I guess that's what they are doing...

    Proxies are anonymous to an extent, but their are ways of getting the real IP, I had it on my forum a while back (and still would if the author updated it )...

    I think the way that abercrombie are using the method is not a good way to use it, I only used it to see if people I had banned where creating another account via proxies...


    [EDIT]
    Just found out that it has been updated, so I have it again

    Just talking out loud here - would it do anything different if you changed your locale settings ?
