Session Timeout problems-web.confg session state and IIS session s

[Guest]

I have two websites setup on an IIS Server. In the web.config files i have
<sessionState mode="InProc" stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"
sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes"
cookieless="false" timeout="120" />
<!-- GLOBALIZATION
This section sets the globalization settings of the application.
-->

Inside of IIS, when you click on the website, you view the properties for a
website, click the Configuration button on the Virtual Directory Tab and
click Options to see the Application configuration, Session State is enabled
with a timeout of 90000 mintues.

The browser session for one website works fine, the browser session for the
other website times out earlier than 120 minutes. How can I troubleshoot
the timeouts ?

re:

The maximum session timeout period allowed is 1440 minutes.

Try setting a value equal or lower than 1440.

You're trying to set a Session timeout of over 62.5 days...?

I have to ask - is this a typo...?

The configuration item you are looking at in IIS is for Classic ASP only -
and has no effect on ASP.NET apps. You need to use the item in your
web.config.

No typo.. I'm just trying to "deactive" the timeout by making it as long
as possible. From another post .. this setting is for Classis ASP only and
not for .net . Someone else had said 1440 is the maximum so I will try that
just to see what happens. the only timeout I want to be happening is the
one from the web.config at 120 minutes.
