php sessions problem

session not held on apache2

[brownfox]

I've got an OS Commerce site on a "real" webserver and on my laptop running apahce2 (on XP). On the "real" webserver all is fine regarding sessions being kept, but on my laptop unless the links are followed with something like this:?osCsid=eecc05b3d1322b25156342c2cced417f
I get booted out and promptred to login again. It's not the OS package as it's identical code to the one on the "real" server, so it must be my apache2 configuration on the laptop. Does anyone know about how apache and php should be configured regarding sessions? Any help gratefully received...
