How do i set my ip address to show truely?

I am trying to sign up on click2pay and it says my ip address indicates that i am not in the united states. i am in the us so i figure that it must be getting a false ip address, i assume because of my router. how do i make it so it picks up on my real ip address provided by my isp?

    The IP address isn't the one from your router but rather from your modem. Your router's external interface has the external IP and all traffic will appear as if from that address, not the back end IP to your PC. Try contacting the Click2Pay support and ask them to manually check your IP address since it sounds like you are having a problem.

    To see what IP they are seeing, check a service like:

    http://www.whatismyip.com/

    This will display the IP address on the external interface of your router. If you use this link:

    You can see the geographic region associated with your address.
