Have you tried using the wwHttp .Net class from http://www.west-wind.com/articles.asp ?

Maybe you're not doing the cookies right. Are you using the Cookie collections? It's not that trivial to get these right and properly handle cookies reliably.

You might also want to check out an HTTP sniffer to see what really goes over the wire and not just what you capture with IE...

Try the EffeTech HTTP Sniffer (search on the Web for it), which has gotten me out of a bind more than a few times trying to debug HTTP traffic issues.
