Lindsey,

For starters,

Does your session code rely on cookies being enabled on the client side?
Or do you pass the session around in the URL?

If < 4.2.0, was PHP compiled with enable_trans_sid
Or is it >= 4.2.0?

I have no idea what MSN8 is -- I thought MSIE was up to about 6, but
I'm a mac user, so maybe you're talking about something else?


My *guess* is that you're on php < 4.2, and you're relying on cookies
for sessions.

For any user with cookies turned off, the session will break.
