Thanks to Mark I think I found out what is going on! The cookie is being placed as a "3rd party cookie". Zone Alarm was blocking it SOME of the time!! Setting up the advanced cookie function and manually allowing 3rd party cookies from my 3 addresses has seemed to solve the problem. Time will tell. . Thanks again Mark!
