    Solved !!

    i think this is a yet not known bug in IE ,,, does someone knows how this
    info can be sent to the IE development team ??? :-)

    if you encounter the below described problem wich only occurs in IE ( a
    third party browser installed on the same computer can login whitout a
    problem )

    perform the folowing tasks

    start IE

    select Tools , Internet options

    Tabstrip "Privacy"

    now click the button advanced

    check overide automatick cookie handling

    select always allow session cookies

    save these changed settings

    now navigate to the website that did not let you logon

    logon to the website and surprise it wil work

    now the funny part :-)

    go back to the previous setting tab and set everything back as you found it

     try again and surprise the website will log you on as it should have been

    i consider this as a bug in IE

    just wanted to let you know :-)
