Cookies and subdomains and IE6

[stillworkingfortheman]

I'm loosing cookies in IE6 (works in firefox) when with the following
steps...

step 1. set a cookie in one domain, in an .aspx.cs codebehind...
in www.domain.com/subdomain1/page1.aspx
HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.domain = "domain.com";
HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);

step 2. Form post to an asp page in another
subdomain..www.domain.com/subdomain2/page2.asp

step 3. From www.domain.com/subdomain2/page2.asp, post form values back
to
www.domain.com/subdomain1/page1.aspx

step 4. Try to access cookie from step one but cookie is lost/null, so
following line causes 'object reference not found error'.

string string1 =
HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["cookiename"].value;

I already checked to make sure all urls are http, not https.

Does anybody know why this works in firefox, but not IE? Also, works
in IE if
try form post from localhost/subdomain1/page1.aspx to
www.domain.com/subdomain1/page2.aspx, then formpost back to
localhost/subdomain1/page1.aspx.

Thanks!
