Who is your ISP?  Are you behind a proxy server?

The latest version of phpBB has tightened up (considerably) its session checking.  Some AOL users who browse webpages through AOL's multiple proxy servers run into problems as the IP address between the proxy servers is sometimes radically different.

I'll do a little more research in a bit.

Still a problem?

Not enough feedback to do anything about it.
