Forms Authentication problem

Hi,

I am developing an ASP.NET application that uses forms authentication.
However, it contains subdirectories, and they don't get authenticated
somehow. I added a web.config and set the SignOn.aspx to the sign on
page in the application's root directory. However, if I move to a page
in one of the subdirectories it requires me to log in again. Once I log
in successfully it keeps sending me back to my sign in page.

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Cheers,
Andy
