Session keeps getting lost

    Hi,
    I have a strange session-related issue. I'm running Coldfusion 5 Professional edition on Windows 2000 Server. Here's the issue:

    => Page1.cfm receives a SESSIONID (say SESS_MGMT_399_46591041 )
    => every time the page reloads, it receives a new SESSIONID .
    This is causing my session variables to be lost, since every time a page links to another, a new SESSIONID gets created effectively losing the old session and its variables.

    Looks like this happens only when the client browser is IE 6, and that too , it shows up on some client machines and not others.

    Please help ! : )

    This is probably a problem with cookies on the clients. AOL can add to this because visitors hop IP addresses which can cause session problems.

    Make sure your <CFApplication> contains setclientcookies="yes".

    I agree - also check your timeouts for your session. Is upgrading an option?
