How do I get an IP address, that will make my computer look like it is from the USA?

I have become addicted to the show Lost on the TV network ABC. I used to live in Ohio. Last week, I moved to Thailand on business. Now, when I go to the ABC website, and try to watch a full episode of Lost, an error screen pops up and says: "Only users in the United States may view these Full Length Episodes." I say BS!!! How can I get my computer to look like it is from the USA? And, for a bonus, why in the hell does it matter what country I'm in, if I want to watch Lost?

Ok, so I got the point that I need a "Proxy Server." But, you have to break it down step-by-step for me, kindergarten style. Walk me through it - what website to go to, what options I need to change, etc. If it works, I'll pay you back with a Best Answer choice.

My son and I live in Canada and Nick junior now prevents all Canadian children from watching its videos as well. I agree with you that it is BS. Kids get upset when Nick jr says they can watch videos and then says they cant.

Canadians do get USA channels as well so WHY are they forbidding Canadian children from watching Nick jr????

GREED. It's just pure GREED - nothing to do with copyright.

It's all due to Copyright Laws. ABC have paid for the priviledge to provide its viewers with that content, and as such they don't want it to go outside of the broadcast range of their channels. Ie. The USA.

In regards to your question about making your computer look like it's in the USA, you would need to find a fast proxy server based in the US and add the IP address in the Proxy Server section of Internet Explorer.
