problem where some users do not get <img> tags

having a strange problem with one of the sites i help run, its all basic html with the odd bit of java.

The problem is that, while i (and most users) see the page properly, my friend (and a few other people) get sent a page with most of the <img> tags missing (most but not all)

can anyone think of what could be causing this?

we have both done tracert's of the site, and both came up with the same address. The dns setup has been checked with the domain name host. They are using ie6, i have tested it in firefox, ie6 and ns 7.1, and it works for all.

My friend has also tested the site on another computer which shares the connection, and found that it worked fine.

any ideas?

an example page:
http://www.znowflake.com/Angels_%20Fairies.htm
the banners and backgrounds work fine, but the preview images in the middle are the ones that go missing


to clarify... i recieve:

Code: Select all

<tr>
<td width="25%"><a href="images/Tubes/angel.PspTube"><img border="0" src="Mix/Copy_of_angel.gif" width="125" height="125"></a></td>
<td width="25%"><a href="images/Tubes/angel3.PspTube"><img border="0" src="Mix/Copy_3_of_angel3.gif" width="125" height="125"></a></td>
<td width="25%"><a href="images/Tubes/angel2.PspTube"><img border="0" src="Mix/Copy_6_of_angel2.gif" width="125" height="125"></a></td>
<td width="25%"><a href="Picture%20Tubes/Fae004.PspTube"><img border="0" src="Mix/Copy_3_of_fae004.gif" width="125" height="125"></a></td>
</tr>
my friend sees

Code: Select all

<tr>
<td width="25%"><a href="images/Tubes/angel.PspTube"></a></td>
<td width="25%"><a href="images/Tubes/angel3.PspTube"></a></td>
<td width="25%"><a href="images/Tubes/angel2.PspTube"></a></td>
<td width="25%"><a href="Picture%20Tubes/Fae004.PspTube"></a></td>
</tr>
anyone come across anything like this before? and ideas about it?

thanks in advance

sounds kinda like they have some spyware/virus that's playing with the html before they see it.. there's also a possibility of their proxy (if they have one) stripping the images. Do other pages work for them fine? Even ones that use very similar syntax?

as far as i know, all other sites work fine.
the connection soft in use is the same as the other machine on the network, which sees the page fine.
the system has been virus scanned and nothing found


update:
we have found some pages on the same site, where the syntax of the page is exactly the same, where the images are shown.
The only differences between these 2 pages is the one that is missing are links to .psptube files, and are previewed with gif images. the page that works links to zip files previewed by jpgs.
