  Wrong user is displayed after multi login

  Hello all of you!
  
  You have an really really good project!
  I installed the sources on my linux webserver and if I log in, it works correctly.
  But if a lot of studenst of my course (more as 2) logged in at the same time(!) the names displayed on the right side is from the wrong account! (Example: Tom see the username of freddy and freddy of susi and susi see my name).
  Also all uploaded files are displayed from the false person.
  All users is sitting behind a proxy on school and i think this could the problem?!
  How can you help me please?
  
  Kind regards
  georg

  Not sure what is causing your problem. Probably not the proxy, but can't say for sure.
  
  We had no luck reproducing the problem.
  
  Do you know which browsers and version numbers each user was logged in from?

  Hi!
  
  Thank you for your message.
  We tested two Browsers
  IE 7.0.5730.13
  and
  Firefox 2.0
  
  I think it has to do with session code. Do you think it ist possible that the proxy saves the session id and send this back to our server, so that our server thinks it is the other user?
  If I disconnect my notebook from the school proxy network and connect via UMTS (GPRS) card (wireless directly over our provider), my account is not displayed on the students pcs. If I connect to the proxy, and make a click to one menu entry, then my name appear on the next student click (on the right hand side).
  
  Kind regards

  Maybe it is the proxy then. Not sure how we could help. You might mention the problem to your network administrator.
