problem: redirect to login page only remotely

[esqueletoh]

Hi, i'm having a very weird problem.
I have an application Asp .Net (Framework 1.1) that uses form
authentication.
To deny access to non-authenticated users i use
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
in the web.config file.

It works ok when the app is deployed on any machine using IIS v5.1, but
when using IIS 6.0 a really weird thing happens.
If you access the application locally everything works fine (Example:
http://localhost/login.aspx)
but if you try to access remotely (http://NameOfServer/login.aspx) and
i put valid login and password, it gets to the page it is supossed to
but immediately returns to the Login screen.
(http://NameOfServer/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fMenu.aspx).

That only happens with IIS 6.0, remotely, and using Microsoft Internet
Explorer. With Mozilla Firefox it doesn't happens.

Does somebody have any idea why?

What is the your IIS app running as? windows integrated? basic auth?

Do you have identity impersonate=true in your web.config?

Make sure your local security IIS settings are the same as the remote
IIS security settings for that web app. That sounds like the problem

walk around?
