I'm pretty sure Nintendo doesn't check IPs but just compares your NNID and console settings. Had the problem myself when changing countries inside of Europe for some strange reason, when I couldn't access the eShop with my Dutch NNID if I set my console to Spanish/Spain (maybe the same thing happens if you change state in the US???). NNIDs are linked to your console SN and country you register, the country can't be changed afterwards... or at least that is what the customer service told me.

Solution: set your console to the country you desire and make a new NNID registered in that country.

Not sure if that is entirely true. In the NA WiiU you can change the zipcode in eShop whenever you want. I'd bet you have a similar option as well.

Well, the country option was greyed out - it wasn't editable. And the BeNeLux (dutch) customer service told me it was impossible to change.
