Session Timeout

we have an our intranet running on Windows 2000. We want to move to 2003 and
have set up our test internet server with 2003. For some of our intranet
"sites" we have our timeout set for 12 hours, others, 10 minutes and others
20 minutes on or 2000 server through the session.timeout variable in our ASP
pages. On the 2003 server no matter what we set the timeput value to, it
always times out after 20 minutes. We have even tried to set the timeout in
IIS to 8 hours (both the site and top level) but it still timesout after 20
minutes. No matter what we do, after 20 minutes our session is gone. 2000
works without issue. I can set it to whatever I want through ASP. How do I
get 2003 to work? Everything I have read says what I am doing and did
previously should work fine.

HELP!

Thanks.

Your application pool is probably set to recycle after 20 minutes of
inactivity.

Once the worker process is recycled, the session var are wiped.
