This is an ongoing problem on most new installations that I have had experience with. Basically you need to tell folks to keep trying.

Hi,
I have installed MediaWiki 1.1.0 on a Windows 2000 machine. Everything works well except for logins. After I login, I get the "login successful" message. Anytime I click to another page, the page still shows my IP address, and when I edit a page, the revision is associated with my IP address.
I have tried both IE 6.0 and Mozilla 1.3.1.
By checking the the "Remember my password across sessions" upon login I can force logins to stick across pages.
I have verified that the following three cookies are set for my site: -PHPSESSID -wikidbUserID -wikidbUserName
Is there an extra configuration step I have missed?
Thanks for your help! -Amy
