Page protection when opening more than one Explorer-Window

Hi,
I just installed Access_user class v. 1.86 and I am happy !
I have one question, though:
After identification and authentification through login, I can access the protected pages. OK. But when I open a new window in Internet Explorer and want to access the same page (just in a new window), I am asked to login again. Why do I have to login twice ? In addition, when I log out in one of the two windows, I can still access the page in the other window.
And now to make it even more strange: I did the same in Firefox instead of Internet Explorer and there it worked perfect: After logging out in one of the windows, i was not able to access the other window - which is correct.

Can someone help me ?

Thank you !
Philipp

No this is not a problem.

Session is stored per browser, not per ip and this is the way it should be.

If it was per ip then people that browse through proxies, or in any other way use a shared ip could create problems...

It's nothing about the IP address, its just that IE creates a new ID for each window as a kind of security. The problem is only about a very bad browser, after MS got this thing a little bit save he doesn't work anymore for 100%
