session won't work on same machine

tony

I have a asp.net 1.1 website that works fine when I hit it from within
the lan remotely, but when I am on the same machine and hit it, it
seems that the app isn't able to use the session object.

For example, the machine's name is "backup". If I am on another
machine inside the subnet and go the the url http://backup/default.aspx
then it works fine. If however I try to hit the web page on that
machine, using either http//localhost/default.aspx or http://backup/default.aspx
then I get a .net error. The error is:

FormatException : Input string was not in a correct format.]
System.Number.P arseInt32(Strin g s, NumberStyles style,
NumberFormatInf o info) +0

In other words it is a .net error and not a networking/connectivity
issue.

The app is compiled as a release binary so I am not 100% sure exactly
where the error is, but there is only one place in the page that
parses out out an int. And that is where it reads a value in from the
session object, so I am pretty sure that is the line that is failing.

Here is the session state part of my web config:

<sessionState
mode="InProc"
stateConnection String="tcpip=1 27.0.0.1:42424"
sqlConnectionSt ring="data
source=127.0.0. 1;Trusted_Conne ction=yes"
cookieless="fal se"
timeout="60"
/>

Anybody have any ideas on this? I could definitely use some help on
this one.

most likely cookies are disabled. as session can be cleared by a normal
recycle, your pages should always handle an empty session.

Session Variables Persist Across Window Close on Mac IE 4.5 and Greater

by: Pack Fan | last post by:

I've noticed that session variables will persist on Mac IE even after all browser windows have been closed. One must quit the program to clear the session variables. This presents a security risk for my session variable based security scheme. Basically, the risk is that a user will login to my site, close the window when done and allow someone else to come up to the machine, go back to my site and be logged into the previous user's...

I was going to change my scripts to reflect this model, but I saw in the php manual the...

But, if I sit at any workstation on the LAN it does not work. I narrowed the problem down to the fact that all of the session objects contain...

Anyway the usual values for session ids are of 32 characters length, and IP addresses not longer than 15 characters - so using char(32) resp. char(15) would actually improve the database performance. But I did not find informations whether this is safe or not. So my questions are:
