ASP Sessions timing out in seconds

It sounds like you might be on a load-balanced cluster. If this site is on
shared hosting, that's a distinct possibility. If you have dedicated
hosting (i.e., you get your own server) or you operate a server in-house,
then we'll try to figure something else out. But my first guess is that
you're on a cluster and that the server that processes your login isn't
necessarily the same server that serves the next page request. In that
situation, your host will need to install a third-party "sticky sessions"
service. They might have one already; some require you to initialize a
shared session in a certain way. Check your documentation.
