If the table sessions for all multisites happens to be in the drupal_common database, one and the same member would be counted in multiple presence in the Who's online block when on different sites simultaneously. Besides, the first visitor to the site would not be counted at once. You have to reload in order to be shown as present.

Fix: Delete the sessions table from drupal_common and make sure that it is present in all the bases of the individual multisites. If not present, copy it there.

Respectively, settings.php has to be modified for all the sites in the multi-net by commenting the line with the sessions table.

Considering the time elapsed between now and the last comment plus the fact that D5 is no longer supported, I am closing this ticket.
