IIS and session variables

jim
I recently reformatted my PC and reinstalled ISS onto Windows 2000.

Since I have done that, my local sites don't work as they used to.

By that I mean, if I have a login page, such as this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. pwd=(newstr(request("pwd")))
  2.  
  3. dim checkRS, checkSQL
  4. checkSQL = "SELECT pwd FROM j_pwd WHERE pwd = '" & pwd & "'"
  5. set checkRS = oConn.Execute(checkSQL)
  6.  
  7. if checkRS.EOF then
  8. response.redirect ("login.asp")
  9. else
  10. Session("g6ffwy") = True
  11. response.redirect ("g66ffwy.asp")
  12. end if
  13.  
  14. checkRS.Close: set checkRS=nothing
  15. oConn.Close: set oConn=nothing
I find the session is set on the page above, but on redirecting to the
g66ffwy.asp page, the session variable is lost, and I get bounced back to
the login.asp page, as authentication fails.

I have debugged this via response.writes and find the session is set on the
above page, but lost on the g66ffwy.asp page.

I have not used frames, and have not used virtual directories, and am not
passing the session variables to a different web application.

On the IIS properties dialog, is there a setting there that may be causing
the problem? I have looked for anything obvious, but cannot see anything.

Thanks

Sorry - ignore my stupid question. I disabled Zone Alarm 5.1.033.000 and all
is fine.
