I have attempted download of export controlled software (i.e. PGP) and it doesn't recognize my domain as being in the US?? What do I have to do to configure this so it will recognize me in the US?

Netscape had something similar with their 128 bit download of their browser and the way they handled this was you had to write them an email to verify it for you and they mailed you a link back for a special site to hit to download it after verifying that you were truely in the US. Usually this happened when there was a domain that had many sites around the world and there was no distinction as to where you were. I know it's a pain...but it's what we all have to deal with.

I'm not sure about your particular software, but I would think there's a process similar to the above that you have to go through. Noramlly, I would say get an updated version, but you're downloading as it is, so I would think you're getting the most update. The other option without calling anyone would be to download a 40-bit international version (but I don't think this is what you want anyhow)

I had a simular problem about 7 months ago when trying to download the 128 bit encryption for IE, after some research at microsoft i nailed it down to a problem with my isp, i contacted them and explained the problem, i was told they had other complaints of this and would have it fixed in a week and it was, so call your isp and see if this is the case.
