I think it is an issue of two machines having the same IP
either by mistake or because the router is too cheap.

But I have found myself using my laptop on some networks and getting,
for example, a different language in Google, being redirected to the
ISP's failed search page, and so on. The thing that bugs me is I
though firewalls were supposed to deal with this. I was starting to
get comfy having all my passwords and accounts in cookies but now they
may end up in someone else's cookies jar??? Or am I overreacting?

PS, in Manhattan office buildings, it is all too easy to inadvertantly
get on the wrong network, esp. for a transient like me.
