although logged in, no access to off line site, EE thinks I am not logged in

Question

Although I am logged in a s superadmin, I do not get access to a site that is offline. Klicking on the site name link, I get

To proceed to the URL you have requested, click the link below:

http://www.mysite.com/index.php

proceeding makes that I reach the offline status, as if I am not logged in. But I am!

When tampering with the url, I get acces, also a new window in same browsersession. This is of course not a desirable situation.

I studied all the posts I could find here about being kicked out of the site and or CP.

In the CP: My cookie settings: all empty. Securety settings: standard: (cookies and session for CP, cookies only for site.)

Help is much appreciated, I must solve this problem tomorrow.
