Re: browsers and logins

I use IE at home and can open a new window from an existing browser session and not have to login or I can start another session of IE and have to login again in the second one. I can't open a second copy of netscape, (I use it at the office) but that could be because it's working under Win 3.11.

The upside of two distinct sessions of IE running is that if one explodes and must be shut down,the other IE session is unaffected.

Yes, two different browser instances versus windows. Whether they are IE/NN IE/IE/ NN/NN doesn't matter. Try this: instead of openting a second browser window, logon to SI,then from the Explorer execute a second instance of your browser. You'll be ased to logon in that session as well.

It's amazing that you could lose your connection and reconnect without having to re-logon to SI. You must have been assigned the exact same IP address. Bet you can't do that again of you try.
