You have cookies enabled on the home machine?

This may be a problem with the proxy system that DirecWay uses; googling about I
see several sites recommending that users disable the proxy in order to access the
sites properly.

If you're using Internet Explorer, try following the directions for this site to
add an exception to the proxy (but for Wikipedia's URL instead of that site, of
course):

Yes - cookies are enabled.

At work I have proxies set on - but I don't have a problem there.

At home (same computer) I uncheck the proxy option so that I do not use proxies (all the options on Lan Settings are
deselected). Note that I am using a wireless network

Any other ideas?

If you are working in two different networks (at work - at home) with the same

This normally permits a permanent login.
