Hi, This issue may have been addressed earlier, but I could find any reference in tomcat user documentation or deployment guidelines. We are using tomcat (3.2.1) in stand alone mode to run the configuration webn gui for our product. When a remote client connects to the configuration server (tomcat) using machine name of the server, user session gets created successfully but instead if one types in the IP address of the server machine, somehow session is not initialized correctly. Has anyone reported similar issue ? Any feedback/work around on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ajit
