Please Help: Mac is Server & PC is Client

Hi everyone. smile.gif" border="0

I'd be grateful if you could help me!

I'm using an iMac G3 on MacOS 9.1 with WebStar Server Suite 4.4, Lasso 3.6.6.2 and FileMaker Pro 5.5 to host my web site.

This web site works great when viewing the pages on another Mac through Internet Explorer 5.

But I have a problem when I try viewing the web site on Windows 98 and Explorer 5 (using Virtual PC emulator - which is just the same as the real thing only slower).

My website works like this:

After the user has successfully logged in with the correct username and password, I set a cookie in the user's browser using the following code:

code:


[Variable_Set:'Client_IP'=Client_IP]

[Cookie_Set: 'LoginCookie' = (String_Concatenate: field:'UserID', var:'Client_IP'), Secure]


.....and set this cookie value in the "LoginCookie" field on the user's record by "-update". I know the field value is added correctly because I manually check this. I haven't been able to verify if the cookie is set properly. How do I find cookie values on Window's version of Explorer 5? But I'm sure I switched on cookies on my Window's Explorer.... so what's up??

On all the member section pages I use the following code:

code:


[if: (cookie: LoginCookie) == (field: LoginCookie)]

show usual member's section HTML

[Else: (CurrentCookie: LoginCookie) != (field: LoginCookie)]

[include:relogin.lasso]

[/if]


This cookie verification is for added security so that you can only view the member pages if you enter via the proper Login page. On a Mac I can successfully log in and read my usual member's section HTML.

But on Windows I successfully log in and then get my re-login html! Maybe my cookie isn't being stored properly in my Window's browser??

Or is there a known reason for this happening? Do I have to set up WebStar in a certain way? Is there something wrong with my lasso code?

I'd really appreciate some feedback! Thank you in advance!!
