PHP Session/Cookie problems with Windows XP, Vista, IE and certain users...
I've mentioned it on here before, but still have the problem, so have added some extra info :)

We have a local intranet site that everyone on the network uses, maybe 5% (or even less) of the users that use the site have problems where the session isn't stored properly.

I've tried defining a path manually and whereas most users sessions are created and remain just fine, on the effected machines it seems that it either forgets the cookies are there, or it can't read them, and then goes on to create a new cookie almost every time you refresh a page.

Things to note are...

    * happens on both the Zend login screen *and* our systems, so for once it's not my dodgy code!
    * it only effects <5% of users
    * it only happens when using IE
    * it only happens with Windows XP or Vista - Windows 2000 works fine!
    * it happens to those users on any XP/Vista machine, so I can use my bosses PC and it's fine, but if he uses mine it doesn't work again...

I've tried messing with the security settings in IE too, changing the cookie security to allow all cookies/sessions, but no luck on that either unfortunately :(

I've tried nettool but it didn't really help much unfortunately, since it just showed that the new cookies/sessions were being created, but didn't say why.

I've also tried checking the date and times are on the same on the server as they are on the workstation, and yup everything is set fine.

The name of the server is 'gc-hr01' - not sure if that should effect anything like this.

Any help would be amazing, really stuck on this.

Thanks!
