IE vs Firefox ASP

Question

i am having an issue with some webpages working in IE (either
v6 or 7) in that i have set up some pages that require logging in
and certain access levels.
i am using an access database and once you login you will be
redirected based on access level or kicked back to the login page
if credentials are incorrect. all the pages behind the login page
have the "restrict access to page" set and this all works perfectly
in firefox but not at all in IE, in IE no matter what login i use
it kicks me back to the login page and will not go any further.
I am using Dreamweaver 8 and Access 2003 and this is all
running from a Server2003 box through IIS.
if it helps any after attempting to login to to IE and
getting kicked back the following address shows up in the browser:
http://test_server/login.asp?accessdenied=%2FPages%2F401K%2Easp
instead of what i would consider "normal":
http://test_server/login.asp
if i remove the restrict access to page behavior from the
ensuing pages it all works fine but then people can just drop that
address in IE and bypass the login completely.
I am pulling my hair out with this and dont know where the
problem is so any help would be greatly appreciated.
please bear in mind that i am relatively new to dreamweaver
and this is my first venture into ASP and accessing a database from
my pages.
Thank you.

ok here are the sites. the first one listed has the "restrict
access" enabled and as you will see it kicks you back to the login
page.
http://70.165.35.29/Pre.asp
username: pre
password: password
this second page DOES NOT have "restrict access" setup and as
you will see it lets you in.
http://70.165.35.29/Post.asp
username: post
password: password
you can try the first link which appears to not work again in
firefox and notice that using firefox it does let you in. so i am
only having the problem when using IE.
please let me know what you think may be the problem i am
completely lost here.
i really appreciate your help.
