list fails on some computers - missing www

Hello,

Can someone tell me why on some computers the following list will fail . I
have a user reported that some of the links in the below list will fail and
some will work. The ones that fail will have the www missing in the URL. For
example when this particular computer will have the link as
http://mysite.com/entry_page.php instead of
http://www.mysite.com/entry_page.php

This is only happening on 1 computer as far as I know and I sure can't
explain it. Hope you can!

This you very much!

Vic

How did you specify your session cookies? Cookies are domain dependant,
meaning the www prefix does make a difference.

hows your DNS for the sub domain www, and perhaps it was the users
fault, maybe during his browser session (which pinned his DNS for the
www host to the correct IP) he then clicked on a list for the other
domain which failed because his DNS was down only he didnt know this
because the other links continued to work , and he just tushed off an
email to you.
He could have had his email client up in the browser too which would
have pinned that mail host-mail->IP as well.
It is a possible though perhaps unrealistic scenario without more, I
mean much more we are just stabbing in the dark thought arent we!?
