What happens if you go directly to this page:
http://mysite.verizon.net/ipbar/photos_end.htm

There are only two little photos on that page, so it should load faster, in case that's the problem.

Do you get:
"The page cannot be found"?
Something like "HTTP 404" and a bunch of strange info?
A page with nothing on it?
A page with a headline and two boxes with captions but no pictures?
Something else all together?

Are you using Internet Explorer or Netscape or some other browser?
PC or Mac?
Any idea what version of the browser?

The more info you can provide, the more chance I have of figuring what's going on here - I know it works for some people and not for others, and I have no idea what the difference is.

Usually most things that work correctly on both my fast PC with Internet Explorer at work and Charlie's dial-up Mac with Netscape at home will work anywhere - but clearly that's not the case this time.

Two other links to try, if you've got a couple of minutes to help with debugging:

This one uses the "hidden" name behind the warm-and-fuzzy ipbar:
http://mysite.verizon.net/vze7va5p/photos_end.htm

And this one goes to the highly boring main page of my site - and might work when the other pages don't because the page name is less than 8 characters - most computers these days don't care how many characters there are in the title of a document, but some older ones might:
http://mysite.verizon.net/ipbar/index.htm

Oh - and this one has 8 characters and the underlying page name:
http://mysite.verizon.net/vze7va5p/index.htm

If the 8-character thing is the problem, you won't be able to see the rest of the site - just the index - but that will tell me what to fix when I get home.

Thanks for your help!
