Session variable timeouts

I have a web site using session variables. The problem is if I dont touch anything for about 10 seconds I lose whatever is stored in the variables. In the web config file I have a Timeout = 100 in the Authentication mode tag. Is there anything else I should be setting to prevent this loss of data.
 
Double check this:

In IIS under the properties for your web site in the Directory tab, click the Configuration button. In there is an Options tab. Make sure Enable session state is checked and that your session timeout is plenty long enough. I think the default is 20 minutes.
