Q: Location issue when logging into a store site
When I log into a store site (Walmart, Lowe's, etc), using my iBook G4, the store locator thinks I am up in Maine, so I change the locator to my home town. And the next time I log in, I am back to the Maine location. Is there a system profile item or cookie for location? I don't recall taking the laptop up to Maine on vacation or looking for items in stock in stores in Maine...... very odd.
G4 iMac flat panel, G4 iBook 12", G3 Wallstreet (OSX 10.2), Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Hey Knucklesmac:
You nailed it... I went to the web search for instructions and found out why the address comes up as Maine: the RoadRunner host name's web address says "maine.res.rr.com" and is located in Windom ME. Hence the stores in that locale show up as my local stores. The website I went to (WhatIsMyIPAddress.com) also suggested at ways to adjust the address but I am not going there just yet. I'll read up more on the subject, and try it later. But now I know why I keep ending up in Maine! Thanks for your help/
