User Session issue with ASP.NET Forms authentication & Windows 2003

Hi,
Hope one of you guys can help me. I've got a site that's been running
just fine for the last couple of months that uses Forms Authentication. I
have two methods of login on the site, a login.aspx page that does redirects
& a bit on the default.aspx page that adds a sec cookie. Users have the
choice of directly logging in on the default page or being prompted when
they try to access protected resouces via the login page. All pretty
standard stuff.

Recently, my hosting provider made some "undisclosed" changes to the config
settings of the servers, now I cannot seem to persist a login session for
more than a couple of minutes and my "remember me" functionality that worked
flawlessly before has completely stopped remembering a thing once the
browser has been closed ;-(. I've not made any changes to either my code or
the web.config files in either the app root or the protected folders.

Is there anything I can try to regain my nice, user friendly auto logon
stuff? Or do I need to move hosting provider? I really don't have a clue why
this should suddenly stop working like this but it has. I've triple checked
my code and it works just fine in my development environment.

Any help at all appreciated,

thanks
