For some reason if i create a poll on my forum the poll only accepts one (the first) vote. After the first vote, other users can't vote anymore... I tried it with different polls in different forums/categories and asked different members to vote first to check if it was due to a wrongly configured access mask or something, but it happens in all the forums and with all the members. I have also checked the access masks etc and enabled poll viewing and voting for everybody but it doesn't fix it. It happens both in polls that expire and that don't expire.
I'm afraid something is wrong in my database but i have no idea where to look (i've had a look into some tables, (access mask etc), but i couldn't find any strange values...

thx for any help!

What version of YAF are you running?

1.0 RC 3 (found here on the forum)
It turns out that people can vote when they are at home, but not when they are at the office (where our server is also located on the same network)... (it runs on IIS6 and SQL Server 2000) (i tried to vote both with Firefox 1.5 and IE6 and also tried to delete all my cookies which didn't help)

Go into Admin and Host Settings. Verify "Poll Votes Dependant on IP" is unchecked.
