I am working on an ASP.NET MVC application on my local machine using the Visual Studio 2012 built in IISExpress. After a significant progress I decided to make it available across the Local network, I created a virtual directory from visual studio. I can log in but when I try to register a new user. I get the error below.

The anti-forgery token could not be decrypted. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that all machines are running the same version of ASP.NET Web Pages and that the configuration specifies explicit encryption and validation keys. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster.

I generated a new machine key from (ASPNET resources) and placed it in my configuration file but is not still working.Can someone suggest a solution?

One thing I noticed is that this error could be caused by having multiple @Html.AntiForgeryToken() pieces of code on the page. I had 2 on my page and once I removed the second one, this error went away.
