Look for "Cookies" under Administrator Preferences.  There's a  
general checkbox there which says "Refuse All Cookies":  to accept  
cookies, make sure it's unchecked.

OmniWeb also allows you to disable cookies from particular servers.   
If your server is listed in the "Server" browser above the "Refuse  
All Cookies" checkbox, you might click on it and make sure it doesn't  
say "(Immunized Domain)".

That said, OmniWeb 3.0 had two problems with its cookie handling  
which are fixed in the current OmniWeb 3.1rc2 release, so if the  
problem isn't solved by changing your cookie settings you might want  
to install 3.1rc2.  If your cookie still doesn't work in 3.1rc2,  
please let me know!

(I suppose I should mention a final possibility:  some browsers  
won't send cookies to OmniWeb because they look at what browser  
you're using and don't send a cookie if you're not using Netscape  
Navigator or IE.  You can fake out those servers by going to "Browser  
Compatibility" in Administrator Preferences and either adding your  
particular server to the list of domains to spoof, or turning on the  
"Tell all servers client is Netscape" checkbox.)

If none of these approaches solve your cookie problem, please let me know!
