I have already tried that. Doesn't work either. Everything tried so far ended up with www.google.es instead of google.com as my browser.

The funny thing is that probably somebody at google thought that changing the google front page depending on the country was a good idea. :(

Damn, Damn Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have tred safari and i can't access to google.com either. It is a vista preferences thing. From now on, I HATE windows. For some weird reason somebody at Microsoft thought that not allowing people at other countries to access www.google.com was a pretty neat idea.

Problem solved!!!

Apparently, my computer date was set up on 1 January 2013 or something like that, and all the sites that needed a time certificate refused to load on Safari and need a reconfirmation on IE.

If you login as a Google user and set your preferences, they should stay the same no matter where you are. Does that not work for you?

I do have the same problem since yesterday when I changed my keyboard to include the Spanish set. I thought I only changed the keyboard layout and since then, every time I go to google.com (whether using Internet explorer or Firefox), it automatically changes to www.google.es. I checked the date on my computer and it is July 24, 2008. If you type http://www.google.com/intl/en/, then it goes to the English version. It suchs, though, because www.google.com is NOT www.google.es and there is no reason why we have to go to all that garbage to get a basic website. I know that www.yahoo.com does not have any issues with that.

Type www.google.com/ncr it will redirect you to your english google web site

Okay... I have the same problem and it's irritating... I work abroad and use a satellite connection from the neatherlands so whenever I go to google.com I get google.nl.. Bit of a pain in the arse...

if you use (assuming you're from the states) www.google.us then you will get the US version of google

If you use (assuming you're from England) www.google.co.uk you will get the british version...

i use the US one because it's more specific to searching the US as I get all sorts of poo when googling from .nl which i dont want...

if using firefox or IE then go to tools then options and change your default page to which ever you're more likely to use... there are still some minor issues but you should be good after saving it.

Hope this helps..

Hello,

When i write www.google.com so it's automatically open www.google.co.uk...i did try many times for solve this problem, but it's failed...if u have solution for this problem let me know...

Thank u

Unfortunately this is neither an ISP, Microsoft, or country-related issue. This is specifically a Google-related issue (if you want to identify it as an issue). When you go to Google's website it identifies your IP address and automatically determines which country that IP address is coming from. Once it determines that it will automatically redirect your page to the specific Google page they have created for that country. Google is able to identify the countries where websites are published, thus, it will prioritize your search results to the country where you are doing your search.

This is a smarter and better method by Google to provide people the best results possible. Obviously, for some people, specially tourists or people who simply want to search U.S. websites, this is annoying.

Now, to answer your question, there is a work-around for this. Not a solution but a "work-around". There are internal monitoring or scripting software out there that has the ability to monitor, for example, the websites you go to and automatically redirect it to an alternate page when it detects it. These are more effective as a parental control feature but you may use it for this specific cause.

What i use is AUTOMATE but this is quite a complicated software for beginners or non-IT people. You may configure Automate to block http://www.google.com.xx and automatically redirect it to http://www.google.com.

There are, of course, other alternatives out there, some better, some more complicated, and some that just doesn't quite hit what you truly want (like the Google.com in English link on Google's page). Hence, that is an effective workaround to your issue.

Finally, what do we need to do?? to fix things, in a bit short...

Hi there,
To fix it, just go to google tool bar option by right click on the "Google". then Change the "USE THE SITES"

YOU WILL BE DIRECTED TO THE GOOGLE.COM

Vim

I did the following with Firefox and worked from three different countries:


1- Set Firefox's Home Page to http://74.125.127.100/

For example, Tools --- > Options --- > in the Home Page blank paste (http://74.125.127.100/)



2- In the top right corner of Firefox where the different search engines bar, click on the little down arrow, then choose Manage Search Engines. It will open up for you a new window. At the bottom of this window, click on "Get more search engines".

It will open for you a add-ons page, write in the search box "google" to narrow the adds-on. then scroll down to an add-on called "English language-specific Google search". Click on Download now and your are done !
