Hi everyone. First post to the forums. Did a search and couldn't find anything about this...

When I type 'www.google.com' into my address bar it automatically redirects me to 'www.google.es' and everything is displayed in Spanish. Why is this? All my settings and prefs. are for English. Coincidentally the same thing happens in blogger. The bar across the top is in Spanish. It only started happening in the past week or so. Have cleared all my cookies and history and restarted my browser. Happens in Explorer, Netscape, Flock, Safari and Firefox browsers.

Is this because my IP address is in Spanish Harlem NY? Does Google do that sort of thing according to population?

Thanks for any help

:EDIT: Found this link in another thread. Seems like its something to do with my ISP.
How do I stop Google.com from redirecting to another Google domain?
