Netscape and cookies

I wrote some scripts that set and use cookies. They work just fine on my webserver but I sent them to a friend and had him install them on his server and the cookies work fine in IE but not in Netscape. One thing i noticed about his webserver which i think is the problem is when you enter the url http://www.organicfusion.com/asylum in the location actually changes to http://organicfusion.com/asylum.

If the cookies are set by http://www.organicfusion.com/cgi-bin/whatever.pl they cant be seen by http://organicfusion.com/cgi-bin/whatever.pl (at least by Netscape) even though its the same file because the domain name has changed.

So can i specify multiple domains in the cookie when im setting it? I tried domain=http://www.organicfusion.com,http://organicfusion.com; which didnt work.

Like I said I think this is the problem, but im not sure...

ok, i guess that is not the problem at all. Netscape is not setting the cookie at all it seems, I checked Netscapes cookies.txt file and there are no cookies from this domain, i even deleted the file and tried from scratch.

Here is the cookie being printed to the browser:

Set-Cookie: userName=Robbie; expires=Fri, 31-Dec-2000 00:00:00 GMT; path=/; domain=organicfusion.com;
Set-Cookie: password=69B4dE7Ufun1s; expires=Fri, 31-Dec-2000 00:00:00 GMT; path=/; domain=organicfusion.com;

It works just fine in IE but Netscape will not set the cookie?!?! Cookies are enabled and i have asked friends to try it too and it just doesnt work in Netscape on this server?!?
