Try changing the lines in settings.php (around line 143):

//...snip
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime',  2000000);
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',   200000);
//...snip

See here http://www.php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php#ini.session.cooki... for the cookie stuff and here http://www.php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php#ini.session.gc-ma... for the session part.

IIRC the maxlifetime bit should tackle the use case where a user is inactive for some time and the cookie bit should work for users that close the browser.

Please post back how that works out for you.

Looks like Sandymaguire won't be posting any feedback so I'm setting this to fixed.

Feel free to reopen if you think that is wrong.

No problem ;-)

The values not changing is a configuration issue that you should try to work out with your hosting provider.
They may have restricted access to these config options by using php_admin_value in httpd.conf

To make sure it isn't working you can use ini_get in a PHP block to see what the value is when running Drupal.

I will leave this issue to fixed for now but feel free to change that if you (or anyone else) disagree.
