Forms authentication works in Mozilla but not IE

My web app was running fine until I decided to change the custom errors
parameter in the Web.config file. I set it to "On" and the app stopped
working in IE but it works fine in Mozilla!

So I turned back to:
<customErrors mode="Off" />

and now the problem doesn't go away (in IE). Whenever I click anywhere past
the login page it returns back to the login page.

This is the forms authentication line:

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="gspLogin.aspx" timeout="30" slidingExpiration="true" />
</authentication>

anyone knows what's happening?

Try IE from another machine. My first thought would be rather a cookie
problem with IE...

It doesn't work on any machine around me using IE. Before trying that I
cleaned all cookies/temp files to no avail.

Manuel,

I ran into a situation where IE wouldn't redirect properly but Firefox
would. After some investigation it turned out that the date/time setting of
the server was way off. Becuase of that IE was seeing the cookie as expired
and kept getting redirected back to the login page. Once I corrected the date
setting on the server IE started redirecting properly.
