So does your profile.

Check the address on your mail to see where you really are.

i live in the u.k, why would my i.p say im not in the u.k, is it something to do with aol, as in AMERICA on line, could it be a setting on my computer, when i installed xp i accidently set it to think i lived in the u.s but ive never noticed except for some stuff on my keyboard

Their server does a whois check on your IP address. It sees the range you fall in is registered to AOL, headquartered in Dulles, VA, USA. No way to change that. :P

hahahahaha




But yeah nothing you can do to change you IP address if your on AOL other then a proxy, but I bet they won't accept a proxy if they are that picky.

Perhaps a switch of ISPs is in order?

Complain to AOL and complain about AOL to your local news media. Make them get a block of UK IP addresses for their customers there.

Edit: OK don't go to the local news media until AOL doesn't help you.

Goodbye, DVDDave. Switching ISPs to evade an IP ban won't help - we'll always track you down in the end.

cobra -- people using certain ISPs such as AOl have common IPs as they use pool proxy/caches ...
