    The cookies are not blocked. I even tried with the lowest security
    possible which is not smart on IE and I still get the same results.

    This problem seems to be client side instead of server side which I
    don't understand. PHP is a server side script.

    In this particular case, I only see it affecting IE 6.0 with the server
    pack installed and running the application from an external server.
    Locally is fine.

    Anyway, I think it's not a big deal anymore. There are too many
    conditions to produce this error.
