Hi folks, you can also use services to 'spoof' your IP address. I usually like to get this info from 'Ask Bob', who's fairly reliable and rarely gives bad info: http://askbobrankin.com/how_to_hide_your_ip_address.html You can sign up for his daily emails and learn a little more each day. If his article doesn't address the problem, email him. THough I think Dave explained how to bypass the default google by re-typing it in. Thanks for tip, Dave. Linda Merle
