 * I’m having some real problems with loggin’ into the admin centre on a particular
   WordPress installation.
 * The weird thing is that it lets me login on my Mac using Safari. But on a Windows
   machine it keeps asking for the password and login and not actually logging in
   even though the credential are correct.
 * Every installation of WordPress I’ve ever come across has worked fine. But the
   difference being is that this installation is on a Windows server (Godaddy) rather
   than the Linux hosting I’m used to.
 * Does anyone have a solution, or is it anything to do with it being on a Windows
   box?
 * Cheers in advance,
    Simon

 * windows servers at godaddy have always been a huge problem
    not sure if this 
   affects you but you can switch to a linux sever for free from your hosting control
   panel

 * I did think it was the windows issue. It’s a client’s hosting, as I would never
   use Godaddy for hosting.
 * I’ll have a look into that.
 * Thanks for the help!
