When user tries to log in, they sometimes get error "Validation of viewstate MAC failed". After the error, they appear to be in logged in state.

This error seems to be happening mainly on new portals imported from an existing portal template. 
We run multpile DotNetNuke portals on one server. 
Our hosting provider thinks it is a caching problem: "please try to change caching settings, refer to the manual."


Why is this happening? 

thanks
Martin
