following is a copy of my web.config file

  <authentication mode="Forms">
    <forms name="Form1" path="/" loginUrl="login.aspx"
    protection="All" timeout="30">
    </forms>
  </authentication>

it works fantastic. Not sure why you would face the problem. check the
forms name and make sure they all match. All my forms are named
uniformly as Form1.

Good luck !!!
