If i click on "remember me" it will not log me in however in the event logs it says "successful login"

Related to session cookies?

I have never been able to get your website here to remember my log in either.  Pretty much seems like a bunk feature.  I use liveID on this website however I do not have this option on my website.

I am wondering if my install of DNN is bad or possibly a configuration I am overlooking.

I had to take a number of modules and completely uninstall them then reinstall to get them to work well.

Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated. 

Again my problem now is:

After successful login half the time I get redirected to the right page but I am not logged in.  Event viewer says successfull log in.  If I check "remember me" i cannot log in at all.

I set persistantcookietimeout to 1000000 in web.config

I am working on setting up the database to use Windows Authentication from the other option however reviewing what all I have to do to set this up.
I created a seperate application pool for this one DNN website application, I have 3 DNN installations on this same machine for others to play with.  The DNN Application Pool uses ASP.NET2.0 User.  For windows authentication with the SQL I will be making a SQL username/password identical to this account.  Then setting this user to allow access.  Is this still going to be ok with running more than one DNN application on the same machine?  I am running SQLExpress if this makes any difference.  I am thinking of running a seperate SQL server machine with SQL 2005-2008 but not sure if this is a good idea.

This maybe off topic but just wondering if any of my DB connection configurations maybe causing this problem...  The clear text issue has me concerned I was hoping that since they are both on the same machine right now it would not get transmitted over the interent however I am probably wrong on that idea...  I do not have a huge amount of sites so starting over wont be too overwhelming however I do want this system setup right because I do want to do a number of DNN projects for myself and others.

Thank you.
