FormAuthentication Timeout in web.config cannot override default timeout?

Hi,
Scott Forsyth had added a few tips concerning this.
Take a look at the links in this post, may help.

I have my site hosted here, and I need to override the default FormAuthentication timeout from 30 mins to 60 mins. I have the following config in the web.config, which is working properly in localhost. But when I upload the site here. The timeout still occurs at around 30 mins, seems the setting in web.config is not taking effect. I don't need session so I disabled the sessionState, which should not affect the FormAuthentication at all.

I am not programmatically setting the form ticket timeout anywhere, so it is not the problem of the web.config setting was overrided by code.

<sessionState mode="Off" />
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms timeout="60"/>
</authentication>

Anyone had the same problem before?

Thanks a lot if you can share your thoughts.
