IE Privacy - DNS Problem

Hi,

I have a case where my application built in Visual STudio .NET 2003 and
ASP.NET ( VB/C# ) is installed on IIS 6.0, windows server 2003.

Problem is that when I reach the site( using IE) through the public IP
assigned to the server, for instance http://194.1.1.1/MySite/home.aspx , it
works well.
The page opens and so the following links as well.

But when I reach it through the mapped domain name, for instance
http://www.abc.com/MySite/home.aspx , the page opens but the other links (
other links use session information for authentication ) on that page doesnt
work, and its stuck on the home page.

I tried a few things and found that just by changing the IE privacy settings
to LOW from Medium, everything starts working even going with the domain
name.
Note: The site uses NO explicit cookie handling.

Now the thing is that I can NOT ask my users to change their IE settings to
reach my site.

Any idea what the problem is, and how can i make it work with IE privacy
settings of Medium?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You can try to find out exactly what security setting affects your links.
Set Medium privacy, go to Internet Options - Security - Custom Level and try
to enable relevant security settings until links start work. Once you know
the problem, it will be easier to offer a solution.

Using http://www.p3pwiz.com , created and setup the Privacy Policy in the
ASP.NEt pages and the web server.
