It's probably more related to browser settings than Tomcat settings. In IE 6, make sure to do the following (not sure where it is in IE 5.5, but it is probably similar):
Tools -> Internet Options -> Privacy -> Advanced Check "Override automatic cookie handling" Check "Always allow session cookies" Click OK and save the new settings. Shut down all instances of the browser, then try it again.
