Session IDs are passed in cookies. Cookies are, by default, set to the current domain. So a cookie set on 'www.test.com' will not be available to 'ww2.test.com'. You can try to adjust the cookie domain property to 'test.com' like someone else mentioned, or pass the session ID in the URL when linking to the other domain. This will only work if both domains use the same directory for storing session files, though. ---John W. Holmes...
