asp.net security : Login works in Firefox, not in IE7

I have built and deployed a site that uses Membership and Role providers.
The site has a SiteMap and a Menu control thats security trimmed.

a) When I'm on the webserver, and attempt to log on (to localhost) using
IE7, my user logs in w/o problems, and the proper menus are shown.

b) When I'm on another pc, and attempt to log on using IE7, my user does not
log in. Screen posts back, but no errors/warnings.

c) When I'm on another pc, and attempt to log on using Firefox2, my user
logs in w/o problems, and the proper menus are shown.

Any ideas? For clarity, I'll post a video withing an hour or so....

Does your application parse certificates? There was a change in how
certificates are handled in IE7.

or try www.fiddlertool.com to compare both handshakes.

When you know whats different between both browsers, it is easier to find
out the reason.
