Change your code back to using the "name" attribute. It looks like there is an error in the help files. It appears though that the default name is being use and your name isn't. I don't see any reason why that would be happening from your code. Is this web.config the one in the directory where the files you are accessing or is it locating in the parent directory or some other location?

>>Your problem is the syntax in the forms element. The attribute is "forms" not "name". The reason you were seeing "aspxauth" was that is the default name used if no form name is given. Since nothing was entered for the "forms" attribute it used "aspxauth". Use the following instead:

>><authentication mode="Forms">
>>    <forms forms=".PHYSCNT" loginUrl="../wlogin/login.aspx" />
>></authentication>
