your IP address shows which country you are living,so the only way is to use a proxy server which is inside US so they can't  \nfind it out.you can find so many free proxyservers by searching in google.

I can only tell you why. because when you open the .com page, the server detects from which country ar you(based on you'r ip addres) and redirects you the the .co.jp.

I'm not sure how many Yahoo! users there are in the world, but you can see which countries Yahoo! has custom sites set up for at http://world.yahoo.com/\n\nYou can see when you created your account in your Yahoo! profile. Just go to http://profiles.yahoo.com/ and click on "View My Profiles" near the top of the page, then your user name. It should be listed underneath the photo box on the left side of the page. If not, there's a box you can check to activate it when you click on the Edit My Info link.

there is a field named "Received" in the full header of you email, containing data like this:\nfrom [168.243.7.66] by web25610.mail.ukl.yahoo.com via HTTP; Thu, 22 Jun 2006 00:13:58 CEST\nYou can see an IP there. You can know what country that IP belongs to.\nhttp://www.dnsstuff.com/

Usually your given an area code from the same area code as where you live.  So you can generally say, yes, you could figure out where the person lives.

everytime you log on to the net you take an "IP address".\n\nIts basicly your position on the net.\n\nYou can do a whois search to find out where the IP is from, in general, but, you can not get an axact address based on an IP.

You can go to your local police station and for a small fee they will give you that information. Make sure you take id with you. If you have any criminal record make sure you get it all cleared up before going to another country. They will hold it against you and you could end up in a nasty jail somewhere. I hope this has helped.

There's no website that lists down all the sites and the countries they belong. But you can:\n\n1. Look at the About Us or Contact Us of the website to see their address\n\n2. Search on the Web for references to the website. If Yahoo Directory or a Chinese directory lists the sites, then it must be in China\n\n3. Get the IP address of the website by running the Tracert command in the DOS of your computer. This will give you the IP address of the site. \n\nThen go to ARIN.net http://www.arin.net to see if it is an American company;  RIPE http://www.ripe.net for Europe and Middle East and APNIC http://www.apnic.net for Asia and Pacific\n\n4. Go to any domain registrar such as GoDaddy and check the WhoIs information of the site. If the site does not have their information listed as private, you can see the address of the domain registrar.

google "ip hide". You will come up with some 30 day trial software that will let you select proxies from different countries.

What country are you from?

Technically, yes. A look up in the "repository" can tell a person where the servers are hosted, and that can give an idea whether the website is from the US or any other coutry. Then its just a matter of rejecting requests for those particular websites.

As already mentioned every computer uses an IP address and you can find out approximately where that computer is located (the name of the town or county or metropolitan area) easily. Past that you do have to goto the service provider, BUT its not a simply ask kinda thing unless you are law enforcement with a warrant. so if you're worried about some jerk telling you he knows where you are because of your IP address.. its very doubtful.
