Strange forms authentication

I have a ASP.NET app which uses forms authentication... This app is
currently on 2 different machines, my local "development" machine, and a
"testing server".

This app works perfectly on the testing server on most computers, but on one
in particular, there is a problem. When the user "logs in" using Forms
Authentication, they are directed to a page within the site, then kicked
out. This same computer can successfully log onto my development computer.
This computer also has more secure firewall and virus scanning than the
others - any idea what the problem could be? It does not seem to be a cookie
issue.

thnx
 
Could be the Virus scanner.
It may affect files like web.config which causes re-starts of ASP.net.exe.
Try disabling it and see if it works.
 
Is it your computer name problem? try this:
Domains that use cookies must use only alphanumeric characters ("-" or ".")
in the domain name and the server name. Internet Explorer blocks cookies
from a server if the server name contains other characters, such as an
underscore character ("_").
