Login page works when accessed on the server, but not from another browser

Hello Everyone,

I have a very simple login screen that basically allows the user to login
into the system. If I access the page from on the server then I get logged
into the system everytime. However, if I try to access the system from any
other machine I get bounced to the login screen everytime and I am not
exactly sure why that is the case.

I am using asp.net 1.1 and running on Windows2000 server. I was wondering if
any one has ever encounter this sort of behaviour before and what their
solution was on.

I have put in debug code in my code and I know that it is getting to where
it needs to go, so I am confused as to what is going on.

If you are storing the logged in flag in a session variable, perhaps IE has
cookies turned off on the other computer.

I thought about that, but that is not the case. I have cookies turned on, so
it should be working properly.

Okay I added in some code to check to see if the user was being
authenticated and it was failing. I am using formsbased authentication.
Gives me something to work with, still if any one has any ideas on this I

Dear ASP.NET Programmers, How can I post data to an ASP.NET login page and pass authentication? The login page uses forms authentication, users must supply usernames and password and have to click on a submit button. I want to automate this process by supplying values with HttpWebRequest and then download a file on the site. I think that I cannot invoke the submit button. Pleeeasee help, thanks in advance

I had this problem in the past, after a server reformat it went away, and now after another server reformat it's back again - no clue what's doing it. Here's the flow: Website root is public, no SSL no forms auth.

Hi Any ideas on this... having moved the web app to another server, and setup all the WebApp data (disable anonymous access etc), locally my site still asks me for a Username/Password, even though I've got authentication="Windows" in web.config. On another machine on the network, I don't get the Login box, but I just get a 401.2 error (you are not authorised to view this page).
