UPC broadband - thinks it's in Austria

smokedeels · 2011-03-03 23:03:27

I switched to UPC this week and since the change all computers in my house are defaulting to google.at, wikipedia.at, and so on... Is this a router setting I can change, or am I way off and it's something else entirely?

UPC seems to have changed the IP address's they are allocating to its customers.

Unfortunately for us most major websites seem to think these IP address's are registered to Austria and so they are redirecting us to their "local" versions of the site.

Nothing we can do at the moment unfortunately. We will have to wait until UPC switch back to the old IP's or the websites involved update their Geo-IP database.

Probably can't afford the few remaining Irish v4 IP's.
