Description:
After logging in I will browse http://en.wikipedia.org/ and will appear as
logged in on some pages and logged out on others. The problem started when I had
to switch from cable internet to satellite internet (specifically DirecWay).

Microsoft Windows XP: Home Edition (Version 2002, Service Pack 2)
Mozilla FireFox 1.0.4.
Internet Explorer 6.0.

I have read on the Wiki help page that I may have a proxy problem. That seems
very likely because satellite connections use proxy servers and I did not have
this problem before I switched to a satellite connection--ruling out
cookie/cache problems.
I have tested on another computer in the house and received the exact same
results as I do on this computer.
Searching for this bug in Wikipedia's bugzilla yielded no relevant results.
