i've run into an interesting problem and cannot seem to find a
solution. I have a site that when loads writes a cookie and trys to
read it to see if cookies are enabled. If it fails it redirects to an
error page telling to enable cookies. Now when I block cookies in
firefox i get the appropriate message, however when i block all
cookies in IE i do not get an error message and it actually writes the
cookie and is on my machine. Can anyone explain this??? It is
throwing me for a major loop.

-Thanks-

I'm assuming you're debugging on localhost, because I doubt this would happen
on an untrusted site.

I would try this on a non-network non-local site and see if it does the same
thing. If it doesn't, then there's some setting in IE somewhere allowing the
cookie for trusted connections. If it does, then I might also try getting
the latest updates/patches from windowsupdate - sounds like you might need to
do a little catching up on those.
