Storing cookies on a PC from my web site? RESOLVED

[Wokawidget]

When I store cookies using:

If ValidateLogin(txtUsername.Text, txtPassword.Text) Then
                objTicket = New FormsAuthenticationTicket(txtUsername.Text, False, 5)
                objCookie = New HttpCookie(".ASPXAUTH")
                objCookie.Value = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(objTicket)
                Response.Cookies.Add(objCookie)
                strReturnURL = Request.Params("ReturnURL")
                If strReturnURL Is Nothing Then
                    Response.Redirect("Main.aspx")
                Else
                    Response.Redirect(strReturnURL)
                End If
            Else
                lblMessage.Text = "Incorect username/password"
            End If

Then IE MUST have it's privacy settings to LOW (medium is default) otherwsie the cookies don't work, and I get redirected back to my login screen....???!

What am I doing wrong?

I've succesfully used cookies in the past without problems in .NET in the situation where JavaScript and the server are able to communicate variables to each other.

I know that cookies issued on one particular server may not be accessed by another server. Do you think that might be the case? Like in the instance where you've got several servers running?

Problem has been fixed with the help of Mendhak.

I was using a dynamic IP service at www.no-ip.com
I specified it to mask the web name, thinking hide just the page name. Which it did.
My cookies didn't work.
I switched to www.dyndns.com and registered there.
My cookies worked

I went back to www.no-ip.com, and curiously turned the mask option off. This then showed my web page like 145.45.234.23/Main.aspx
My cookies worked

The question is, why does no-ip.com block cookies when you mask the web page? Hmmmmm...

Anyways, I have switched to www.dyndns.com anyhow. But if anyone knows the answer can they let me know

Cheers.
