i need some help understanding cookies.  why would internet explorer set a
cookie if i call the page using the ip address instead of the dns name?
 
for an example check out
 
http://www.empower-xl.com/empowernew <http://www.empower-xl.com/empowernew> 
 
log in as 
 
and then go to http://209.104.158.69/empowernew
<http://209.104.158.69/empowernew>  and do the same thing.  
 
 
you can get to the main screen logging in both ways.  however, if you try a
menu item it acts like the cookie isn't there (which is true). if you go to
your cookies folder you will notice that internet explorer only set the
cookie when you go to 209.104.158.69/empowernew.
 
i'm running windows 2000, iis, cfmx 6.1
