Title: Login... Again!
Post by Sir Col on May 2^nd, 2005, 2:45pm

My new ISP gives me a different IP address each time I connect. For some reason this means that each time I visit this forum I need to login again.

With my previous ISP I also had a dynamic IP address, but it changed so infrequently that it didn't seem to cause any problems.

I've kept the folder open that contains the cookies and I've noticed that when I click the link to bring me to this website the cookie is deleted from the folder. Once I've logged in, the cookie remains and I have no further problems until the next time I connect to the internet and visit the forum.

Is it a coincidence that I've recently switched ISPs? Has anyone else experienced similar problems and found a work-around? Any ideas?

I haven't changed my ISP but sometimes I need to login.
