Lare2 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 (edited) As title says, when i type google.com on any browser it goes to google.co.jp :blink: On firefox when using the "Search gogle for.." context menu, it takes me to a result page on the Japanese site Before giving suggestions please note the folowing I have just reformatted and clean installed Windows Xp The HOSTS file is clean with just the default No spyware/virus involved, OS clean installed after reformat, andKaspersky Internet Security before machine had access to the outside world. Is it something with the ISP or what do you think ? BTW Here's a nslookup to google.com and google.co.jp from this machine C:\>nslookup www.google.co.jp Server: dns-cac-lb-01.texas.rr.com Address: 24.93.41.125 Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.l.google.com Addresses: 64.233.167.99, 64.233.167.104, 64.233.167.147 Aliases: www.google.co.jp, www.google.com C:\>nslookup www.google.com Server: dns-cac-lb-01.texas.rr.com Address: 24.93.41.125 Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.l.google.com Addresses: 64.233.167.99, 64.233.167.104, 64.233.167.147 Aliases: www.google.com Edited January 30, 2007 by Lare2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cryton Subscriber² Posted January 30, 2007 Subscriber² Share Posted January 30, 2007 Every time I've heard this problem it has been because of a proxy. Usually some privacy-related software that does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lare2 Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 It is now fixed. I did an nslookup again, and by the differences from the previous one, it seems that it was DNS Aliases related.
