The two are suing the Durham, N.C., firm of Rendina Solutions, which has registered Web addresses that link to pornographic material, the Natural Law Party, the National Abortion Rights Action League and Democratic nominee Vice President Al Gore's site.
A federal judge transferred the case from San Francisco to a U.S. District Court in North Carolina on Tuesday.
Buchanan's attorney, Mark T. Clausen of Windsor, Calif., wants the sites shut down or for them to have a disclaimer and link to Buchanan's official site, buchananreform.org.
"We want this stopped," Clausen said.
Mark Rendina, who is accused of registering the domain names, did not return phone calls from The Associated Press. The suit said Rendina offered to sell the domain names to Buchanan's campaign for $10,000.
The sites in dispute are buchanan-foster.org; buchananfoster2000.com; buchananfoster2000.org and buchanan-foster2000.com.
Web surfers at one site are greeted with Buchanan's picture and the question, "Who is Pat Buchanan?" Clicking to find out brings users to a pornographic site.
