Hi,

when somebody enters my webpage i save the userid in a session variable. They can access my webpage at 2 ways. They can access it by typing the ipnumber or the name of the site in the browsers' addressbar.
either way the sessionvariable will be filled with the userid. But the problem is that i used a few absolute paths in my site. With those paths i always used this format: "ipnumber/page.asp". When a user enters my site by typing the name in de browser the session value is set (i checked this!). But when i redirect somewhere on my site to "ipnumber/page.asp" this value is lost.

Is there some way to solve this problem?

cause i thought it wouldn't make any difference if you access a site by it's ipnumber or by it's name because the server treats both the same...or is this assumption incorrect?

any help is appreciated!

try to use virtual paths :

The first slash represent your site root.
