Pictures don't display in IE on only one page

[rapidcars]

I have a really weird problem that makes no sense at all. The pictures don't load on the index page in IE. If you click on a link and then go back to the index page it works fine. All the other pages on the site work fine and this only happens in IE.

Just discovered that if you point to the page ie. http://example.com/index.php it works fine but if you just go to example.com it doesnt work. T also only happens the first time you go to the site after opening up IE.

[edit reason] switch to example.com - it will never be owned [/edit]

I'm using a redirect script now to index2.php as a temporary fix and it works. This is really odd.

I just tried putting up a page with random images and no other code to the main page and that doesn't work either so its not the code. And it can't be the server cause it works fine on firefox. I can't think of anything else it could be

Have you tried using "View Source" to see what IE is getting from the server for each of the two addresses?

Maybe IE's cache is corrupt?! Clear the cache and check 'Delete all offline content'.

[rapidcars]

Source code is delivered correctly. Clearing the cache didn't help. This is also happening on my friends computer also. Contacted my server but they couldn't find any problem.

Hhhhmmm... do you have a width/height set on your images...? The absence of said attribs/style has been known to cause problems in IE at times - always good practise to include if you can.

[rapidcars]

Yes width and height are set.

Are you sure index.php is set as your page by default on the server and not index.htm or index.html?

Basically it just sounds like when you don't specify index.php that it's pointing to somewhere else.

If not - what about load balancing?
