I'm trying to access the library's article databases to retrieve some articles from some of the databases they subscribe to, IEEE, etc and some of the others listed here:

http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/courses/com498m/databases.html

Basically you just click on the database you want to access, login with your unity ID and password and then it takes you to the database search page so you can search for articles. When I type in my unity ID and password instead of forwarding me to the database search page though it just goes straight back to the Login Required screen. I only have this problem on my computer, I can access the databases just fine using my unity ID and password from any other computer and I can access all of my other unity accounts fine using this computer. I've tried manually entering the address of the database into the address bar after logging in, doesn't work, I've added the library website as a trusted site to make sure the cookies are getting through, no luck. This is really cramping my style trying to write this research paper I'm doing, anyone know what the problem might be?

dumb questions:

have you changed your password recently?
is your caps lock on?

You tried in both IE and Firefox? Which versions of each?

No, I'm putting in the correct username and password, if I enter a wrong username or password it tells me, when I enter the correct ones is when it just goes back to the login required screen

Yea, IE 7 and whatever the newest version of Firefox is (just downloaded it two days ago), using Firefox was how I ultimately got the info I needed for the paper but its still kind of a temporary solution and I'd like to get it working with IE out of curiosity as to what's wrong if nothing else, I feel like its been mocking me for a year with this problem
