Cookie domain

[cdfly]

Hello,
I'm trying to add a cookie and then rediect it the page to another machine. The cookie is only visible when the page is redirected to a site on the same machine.
As long as I set the cookie domain to "localhost" and pass the cookies to a page on the same machine I can read the cookie. If I set the domain to my network domain "network.com" and redirect the page to a different machine I'm unable to read the cookies. Is a cookie "domain" not the same as a network domain?

Thanks

I don't think you can write cookies for other domains. that would be a huge security hole. you could search the web for "cross site cookies" or "share cookies across domains". but i'm pretty sure this isn't possible.

Thanks jmeckley,
I kinda thought that was the case but wanted to check to be sure.
I appreciate your help.
