MICHEL,

I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

PLEASE DO LOOK INTO IT AND GIVE ME AN ANSWER OTHER THAN THE FIREWALL/PROXY LINE WHICH YOU'VE BEEN REFERRING ME TO FOR YEARS NOW.

I HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH IE5.5/WIN98OSR2 AND AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ON TWO CLEAN INSTALLATIONS OF IE6/WIN2K ON TWO COMPUTERS, ONE WITH A FIREWALL AND ANOTHER WITHOUT.

NO PROXY INSTALLED AT ALL. I USE DIAL-UP TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET.

ALL I DID TODAY WAS BRING UP THE LIST OF MESSAGES FROM USERS I SUBSCRIBE TO.

SHIFT-CLICKED ON ONE OF THE MESSAGES TO VIEW IT ON A SEPARATE IE WINDOW.

CLOSED THE NEW IE WINDOW AFTER READING THE MESSAGE.

THEN CLICKED ON ONE OF THE REPLIES TO MY MESSAGES THAT APPEAR ON THE LEFT PANEL OF THE UT.

AT THAT POINT THE UT ASKS ME TO LOG ON AGAIN.

I READ THE TECHNICAL DOCUMENT YOU REFERRED ME TO AND FOUND NOTHING USEFUL THERE FOR THIS PROBLEM.

I WENT INTO IE6'S CONFIGURATION AND ENABLED ALL COOKIES AND SET COKIE HANDLING AS FOLLOWS, BUT THIS DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM EITHER:

OVERRIDE AUTOMATIC COOKIE HANDLING - ENABLED
FIRST-PARTY COOKIES - ACCEPT
THIRD-PARTY COOKIES - ACCEPT
ALWAYS ALLOW SESSION COOKIES - ENABLED

THANK YOU.

ALEX

>>This is on a fresh installation of win2000, no proxy. Just Zone Alarm firewall. Please look into this as it's EXTREMELY ANNOYING.
