I'm getting the page, with all the images coming up as broken links.
Oddly, if I access an image directly, e.g.
www.webunlimited.co.uk/images/pageheader.jpg , then go back to the home
page, the image loads up correctly (now it's in the browser cache.) I'm
getting the same results on PC IE6, Firefox and Opera (v7.something, I
think) on Windows 2000.

Trying it on the Mac, I get the same problem of non-loading images, but
if I type in the pageheader.jpg path, I get sent to
www.et.co.uk/unafilliated.html

Also I notice in Firefox that it's trying to load something from
et.co.uk and that seems to be what's failing.

So - why the heck are the images all supposed to be coming from another
website, and how is it being done as they're not referenced that way in
the source - is it some sort of re-write rule gone awry?

This would also explain why you get the page OK when you put in full
paths - it is loading the images from the right place when it knows
exactly where they are.
