    As of last friday (i think) all websites i visit seem to think i am in ireland. For example I am now being redirected to google ireland rather than UK, ebay wants to move me to ebay ireland rather than uk, i can't use bbc iplayer as it says i am not in the UK.
    My ISP is virgin media.
    Anyone else having this problem or know what to do to solve this? (I am infact in scotland)

    Your IP has changed. Usually if you turn your modem off for a while it will reset to a different IP.(or you can force it.. but I'm not telling how as it's not the kind of thing you talk about openly.. google) Virgin are having a lot of difficulties lately (grins) with dns and ip assignment.
    They crap on us... we crap back on them XD
