I have a forms authentication login that uses the 'remember me' set 2 weeks (20160 minutes).

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="SMS_Text" loginUrl="login.aspx" protection="All" path="/" timeout="20160" cookieless="UseCookies" />
</authentication>

If I run it on my local machine, login and then come back to the site a few days later, I am logged back it straight away as expected.

When I put it onto my web server, it seems to time out after 30 minutes so it I log in and then return after 30 minutes it does not automaically log me in.  If I return before 30 minutes, it does log in automatically.

The cookie that is used as part of the forms authentication definitly exits but the login does not seem to read it.

I don't really understand why the webserver is timing out the login after 30 minutes.
