Avoiding country specific website redirection?

[stockhausen]

I am trying to help out a neighbour. Whenever he tries to connect to a particular US (.com) website, the UK (.co.uk) is accessed instead. Working from his house I can access the US website without doing anything special (e.g. I am not using VPN); he can't, using MSIE, Chrome or Firefox - he always gets redirected to the UK site.

I have tried "ipconfig /flushdns" but that hasn't helped.

N.B. this doesn't involve either porn or NetFlix, he just wants to buy clothes cheaper from the US

Can he do it in private browsing? Just wondering if it's being logged into the site or cookies that are causing it

Yup, it was cookies - he used CCLEANER to get rid of them and he can now access the site - thanks.
