 * Hi.
 * I’m having problems authenticating users with IE. I installed WP2.7 first on 
   Windows and then on Linux (SLES10) and I’m having the same problems. Users can’t
   login to WP control panel if they’re using IE. No problems with the credentials
   indicated but WP; it just goes to the login page when they type the correct login/
   password. No problems using Firefox.
 * Is this some known bug with IE?

 * Hi. I just wondered what was happening here. The URL they configured was one 
   with an underscore on it “something_here.domain.com”. Firefox doesn’t have any
   problems with this, but IE does. It wasn’t handling the session cookies very 
   well. They changed the URL to something without underscore (somethinghere.domain.
   com) and everything was working fine.
 * Thank you all.
