How come this redirect does not work with this section of code?

foreach (string oName in oValues)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Form[oName]))
    {
        oCount += 1;
    }
}
if (oCount == 0)
{
    _clientID = Request.Form["ClientID"];
    _password = Request.Form["Password"];
    _pracType = Request.Form["PracType"];
    _encrypt = Request.Form["Encrypt"];

    if (GetCRC(_clientID) == _password)
    {
        if (_clientID != null)
        {
            var verify = VerifyClientInformation(int.Parse(_clientID));
            var gsa = new GSDataLayer.Authentication.Auth();

            gsa.CreateAuthEntry(_clientID, _password, _pracType, _encrypt, verify.CanUpdate);
            _aMgr.GotoHomePage();
        }
        else
        {
            error.Text = "This conditional failed.";
        }
    }
    else
    {
        _aMgr.GotoErrorPage("nocrc"); 
    }

}
else
{
    _aMgr.GotoErrorPage("noform");  
}

the GotoErrorPage method:

public void GotoErrorPage(string errorcode)
{
    if (HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress != "127.0.0.1") // for testing only
    {
        var instance = new Control();
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Buffer = true;
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect(instance.ResolveClientUrl(
                     string.Format("~/ErrorPage.aspx?e={0}", errorcode)));
        HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
    }
}

If oCount is 0, it redirects just fine but if it is > 0 the redirect does not happen. Any ideas on why this might be?

thanks

edit

Well, I feel rather silly...the conditional for the UserHostAddress in GotoErrorPage() was the culprit. I had forgotten that this was remnant from my initial testing because I did not want any redirects to happen, just outputting text (errors, results, etc). After removing that conditional, redirects happen just fine.

What is throwing me for a spin, though, is it was working fine earlier. Although, I think I also figured that out as well. Since I am developing this on a network, some of my colleagues can access it via the intranet by using my computer's name (program003) instead of localhost. I think before the 'problem' showed up, I was using my computer's name instead of localhost while testing. Regardless, when I use localhost, the IP is 127.0.0.1, but when I use program003 I get this IPv6 address:

fe80::b1d7:b18b:d10f:f526%8

If I am not mistaken, the loopback address for IPv6 is supposed to be ::1? Very strange.

Looking at the logic if GetCRC(_clientID) == _password is true and _clientID != null is false, then you're left with no action taken at all, so you have at least one possible explanation there.

May I also take the opportunity to say how much the dropped braces and hungarian breaks my mind? This is very hard to read for my eyes.

Where is "errorcode" defined in your GotoErrorPage() method? Does it accept a parameter?
