Well, I think we may be getting closer, but the problem still exists. First, my OS is Windows 98.
I tried checking the privacy report and the TIF folder but they aren't applicable because the files I'm trying to open have never been on the internet. They exist only in the My Documents folder as I'm still working on them before I upload them to the server so they can be seen on the Web. At least I think that is what's happening because when I used the suggested commands the response was for IE to open the security tab on internet options (Alt-V,v) and there was no response when I tried to open the TIF viewer (Alt-T,O,Alt-S,V). However, when I tried the same commands on an active Webpage they worked just as you described.
I tried copying my image files (it's a folder I've simply labeled "gifs") to the TIF folder using the Exploring window, thinking that maybe they weren't showing up in the page because that was where IE looked for them. It didn't work.
I'm not sure if a packet tracer will do any good because everything is taking place on my computer and has no internet presence . But I'm going to download Ethereal, as you suggested, and see if it might help.
As far as the pathway goes. The titlebar shows exactly the address I would expect to see (C:\My Documents\folder name\scripts\index.html) for the homepage of the site.
The image files are in the same main folder (C:\My Documents\file name\gifs\image file). What I have noticed is: if I right click on the spot where the image should be, and click on Properties, the pathway shows as: (file:///C/My%20documents/folder name/gifs/image file). The other properties listed are:
Protocol: File Protocol
Type: Not Available
Address (URL): (file:///C/My%20documents/folder name/gifs/image file).
Size: Not Available
Dimensions: Correct image dimensions
Created: Not Available
Modified: Not Available
 I'm not sure what to make of this, or if it means anything at all.
