No problem, except when copy/paste ID or PWD, make sure there is no trailing space. Had that problem at first in the offline registration process.

No way....i can't seem to do it in FireFox, any login attempt: as in replying to a forum post takes me back to the login page. At times i can get into the login >next page with the catagories of "my account" but again choosing anyone of them take me back to the login page.
I am writing this from IE6...it seems to work. Sony Support is stumped.

Stupid question, but are you allowing cookies from this site?

Agree, sounds like a cookie problem. I think that with Firefox, after you allow cookies for your legitimate sites, you can turn them off for all others.

Bingo!
I thought FireFox's popup cookie manager choice of not allowing a cookie to be set ment: this time. Didn't realize it ment block for good.
Thanks All

the setting i like, which i use in Netscape so Firefox should have it too, is to disallow 3rd party cookies. This lets any site set cookies that refer to the URL you are looking at, but won't allow cookies from other URLs to be set. So far i haven't found any site with a valid reason to set 3rd party cookies, and have never found any reason to deny cookies from the originating site.

Since a website can only access cookies that it itself sets, and since it already knows all the information in it's own cookies, there really isn't any problem letting a site set them.

there is a setting in firefox to allow cookies for "originating site only". i guess this would mean that third party cookies are not part of the evaluation process where i am asked to allow or deny cookies. i will work with it. thanks for your help.

In Firefox, if you click on the "Exceptions" box when you're in the Tools-Options-Cookies tab, you get even more optiosn as to what you'll let specific sites do. For example, Sony can be an "allowed" site while all cookies for all others can be blocked.
