Hi,

Sorry - you're correct, I misunderstood your post. You may want to make
sure that the code:
1) Works on at least one computer outside of the network
2) Is like <img src="/images/1.jpg"> and not just "1.jpg" or "images/1.jpg"
3) Doesn't point to an internal DNS entry (http://company/images/1.jpg)
