Unable to stay logged in

Just what the title says.  Anyone else having this problem?
So far, troubleshooting-wise, I've:
* cleared cache and cookies
* tried 3 browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE)
* rebooted
* waved my handy-dandy rubber chicken over the PC
It's not particularly troublesome, but it is somewhat annoying to have to log in every time I visit.  It just started today, and I can't think of any configuration change I've made on my end.  I haven't had a chance yet to test with another computer, which is why I thought I'd see if anyone else was having the problem.
(The fact that it's cross-browser makes me suspect it's not on my end, but I could be wrong.)

Only time I'm not staying logged in is changing from desktop to laptop. Once that's logged in once, everything seems fine. The site might use cookies to keep you logged in, if you have some software that routinely purges them and/or denies them.

I'm not seeing anything like that. I did in fact purge my browser's history and cookies rather thoroughly a couple weeks back, and had to re-log into everything I use afterwards, but that's the closest I've gotten to what you're reporting.

Could be a semi dynamic IP issue. once every couple of weeks I have to relog in, and usually its cause when my system renewed its ip address the cable company gave me a slightly different one (usually in the last triplet)

Not directly related... did you hear that at least some doomsayers are saying that the proliferation of smartphones and the like are rapidly eating up all the available IP addresses?

It isn't just the doomsayers saying this. http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2011 ... ernet.html]IANA handed out the last available IPv4 addresses yesterday. Once the world's ISPs use up the ones they've got, they aren't getting any more...

I foresee things breaking in one of two ways:

1) ISPs try to adopt IPv6 before they have ironed out all the kinks regarding their network topology, and things break

2) ISPs start to nat their customers (your cable modem now has a 10.x.x.x IP address), and things break

The amount of breakage will (hopefully) be spread out enough that the majority of non-web traffic continues to work, but the desire to sign up new customers will put a strain on things.

On a slightly less serious note:

3) Confiscation and redistribution of IP addresses becomes a form of international sanction, like embargoes.

I've had this issue happen to me for ages, device regardless. In fact I'm more irked at the fact I can't log in here on my iPad anymore, browsing' fine, yuku's just having trouble with my username or summat whenever I try on it.

Heh! Double NAT can it work? IPv6 do existing modems (cable, asdl) grok it?

It appears to be network security related, as the problem vanishes when I'm connected through my home network and not from work.  Odd, and I have no idea what the IT team is playing around with, but eh.
As for the addressing: I double-NAT all the time and encounter no issues, even with MMOs and such.
