Session Creation Mystery

Hi All

We have an intranet application implemented on one of our client' servers. They have about 50 or so users, that access this intranet site daily. The application uses php's built in session management; the weird thing is that about 4% of the users get the message "Session could not be created". They all use Internet Explorer, so I installed firefox on one of the users machines, who had the problem. And it fixed it, the issue is that we have other systems with the same login mechanism.

So it is definitely a browser issue. If anyone can help me to try and sort this out, without having to install firefox on each machine with the problem.

Was it always the same users that received the error?

Also verify the proxy/LAN settings in IE on a) the faulty machine and b) a good, working machine. It might be cause some wierd comany setting to pass all traffc through a proxy that makes it work differently. Mozilla might "fix" this upon installing it, I wont say.

We had some issues with this ourselves at our company, so it might be worth looking into.
