Interesting.  First thing I thought when I read that was *javascript*.  Also
it may be looking for a cookie that you don't have.  Can you try opening it
with javascript disabled?
When troubleshooting this, do not log in.  I mean, you *can't* actually, but
don't bother going through the motions either.  If you open any of the other
"7000-ish" index pages, can you view the source to see if there is any content
to it other than a login prompt?  You might want to view it in Notepad (sorry,
assuming Windows) or another HTML editor and see if there is a "META REFRESH"
tag or some other scripting mechanism that it taking you away from the page
you are trying to view.
