I am creating a simple HTML page in FrontPage that needs
to access images on my company website's image directory.
However, when I view that HTML document on another PC out
of my network, it can't get to the images.  How do I
configure IIS 5.0 to allow an external website or page to
hot link pictures out of our image folder?

Oh, if I manually type the address of the image from the
folder into IE it shows with no problem.

Hi,

You can't make IIS a proxy, it can not get the images from an internal
server and pass them along.

However, you can create a virtual directory on the public IIS server and
point it to the UNC share (\\computer\share) where the images reside, and
call them from that

Thanks for the reply, but I think you have misunderstood
me.  The images I am trying to link are on our corporate
public website (in the image directory).  So if I type,
www.website.com/images/1.jpg, I can see the image (from my
home computer) however if I add that link as the src for
the image in HTML it says it can't view the image.  Any
clues?

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)
