[?]Firewalls and cookies

[Starman]

I just moved into my dorm room at college. I got my computer hooked up to the campus network (broadband, yeah!!), but I've noticed now that I have to log on everytime I come to this site now. Do firewalls block cookies? Could that be the cause?

No, firewalls don't block cookies. Cookies are transferred to your computer inside the web-page (in its headers to be exact) and so if you can see the page then the cookies should be fine.
