Re: Cookie setting with IP address, not Domain name

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

the domain you specify for the cookie must belong to request domain. if the
browser is seeing an ipaddress, then you can not specify a domain. the
browser seeing the ipaddress is usualy caused by a redirect, or proxy
infront of the server.

I have an ASP.NET 2.0 site that stores a cookie on the browser. Instead of
the domain name (www.somename.com) it comes accross as the IP address of
the
server. This works in Firefox, but fails with IE 6 because of security.
I
went through and forced the Domain like this:

this.Response.Cookies["culture"].Value = "en-MX";
this.Response.Cookies["culture"].Expires =
DateTime.Now.AddDays(30);
this.Response.Cookies["culture"].Domain = "somename.com";

This results in Firefox denying the cookie, as well as IE. Why is the
cookie coming across as an IP address? Is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance.

Todd
