Forms authentication and latest patch for XP (non-SP2)

[rdcelit]

I have forms authentication for the ASP.NET application I'm currently
writing. It worked fine until I installed today's patch for Windows XP (we
can't go to SP2 yet for various reasons), VS.NET 2003, .NET Framework 1.1...
These were all patches that I ran. Now, my forms authentication which had
been running fine up until then doesn't seem to work. I log in through my
login form, and it doesn't do the
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(user_nam e, true) any more. I added
a hardcoded address to redirect to my homepage:
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(user_nam e, true, homepage) and it
goes to the home page, but every time I click on something, it goes back to
the login page. Anyone seen this? Does anyone have any suggestions? I
guess there is always the possibility of backing out of the patch, but I want
to make sure that I don't run into this when deploying to my Windows Server
2003 because of a messed up config somewhere.

Never mind. I got it to work. Thanks.

I played with the IIS settings until I got it to work. Apparently SP2
changes some IIS defaults. I set debugging back to true and I may have
changed the pooling to medium. Also, it didn't seem to work until I rebooted
after making these changes, but stopping and restarting may have achieved the
same effect.
