I have 2 scripts: providerlogin.php sets session variable $userSN
                        displayprovider.php tests $userSN and displays info depending on result
Both scripts work as expected under
  Win98, Apache 1.13.22, php 4.1.0
  WinNT, Apache 1.13.22, php 4.1.0
  WinNT, IIS, php 4.1.0
but under Windows 2000 Professional, Apache 1.13.22, php 4.1.0 $userSN has disappeared when I run displayprovider.php or even if I return to providerlogin.php.

providerlogin.php
...
	session_start(); // starting session
	// session variables must be global
	global $userSN;
	// registering session variables
	session_register("userSN");
	
// test if user is loged-in
?>
	<html>
	<head>
	............
	$result   = odbc_exec($conn, $query);
	if(odbc_fetch_row($result, 1))  {
		$realUserSN 	= odbc_result($result, 1);
		$providerName	= odbc_result($result, 2);
		$userName	= odbc_result($result, 3);
		$realPassword	= odbc_result($result, 4);
		$refereeStat	= odbc_result($result, 5);

		$userSN = $realUserSN;

		odbc_free_result($result);
		odbc_close($conn);
		
		if (isset($userSN))  {
			printf("<FONT size=5><b>Welcome to Provider Login</b></FONT><br>");
			printf("<FONT size=3>%s</FONT><br>\n",  $providerName);
			printf("<b><i>You are logged on from :</i></b> %s <br><br>\n", $REMOTE_ADDR);
		}
		else printf("<FONT size=5><b>ERROR setting session cookie</b></FONT><br>");

		printf("</body></html>");
		exit;
	}
	else  { //didn't find the given password
		$notFound = true;
	}
	
displayprovider.php
	........
	// If user is logged in, may send messages to this provider
	if (isset($userSN))  {
	// User may update provider if OnLine and myCookie corresponds to the displayed provider or is admin login 555fff
	       if (($OnLine == true) && ($userSN == $providersn)) {
		printf("<h3><A HREF=\"../update/update.php?providerSN=%s\">Update Details</h3></A><br>\n",  $providersn);
	     }
	} //End of myCookie is set, thus user is logged in
	else  { // if myCookie is not set, print message about logging in
	     echo "<H3>- To send messages to this provider, you must have logged in.</H3><BR>";
	}
