OKay, who understands IP? I want a simple explaination as to why I can log into LMR with two different usernames from two different PCs in my house, when they're both attached to the same router. The router assigns them both unique non-routable IP addresses on the LAN side of my network.
If I log into two sessions on LMR using two usernames, the more recent of teh two connections takes over the older one and that session becomes the same as the new one.
Once the traffic passes through my router, it's almost as if my two PCs have two different IPs.
I guess the site requests a I guess the site requests a cookie from the browser. If the brower does not have the cookie (=you are not logged in), you will get a new cookie. So each computer has its own cookie and can log in with its own username.
Oh. I understand that. That’s disappointing. I had hoped the answer would be more complicated.
You may well be right. It looks like I can run two different users one from Internet Exploder and one from FireFox. They must use two different cookie caches.
I know the feeling. When you I know the feeling. When you get an explanation of something that turns out to be easy, you get dissapointed on the oh-I-hoped-I-could-learn-something-fancy-here level and the oh-why-didn’t-I-think-of-that level. And then you sneak off implementing the same thing and points out to everyone that it’s obvious how it works.
