Thanks for the tip, but I'm afraid that wasn't it either (though that's good to know for the future!)
I'm at the point now where the machines that lose session info are losing it immediately after it's set! In other words, if I add an item to a shopping cart, as soon as the user clicks off the View Cart page, the session is gone. Yet, my workstation (and several others around the office) don't have this problem. I checked to see if cookies were enabled (they are) and I've tried several combinations of cfapplication tag properties. This whole thing has me baffled. I know I shouldn't be mucking around this much just to get session management working properly.
