Caching problem

The problem I'm having is that I will visit a page, for instance a half constructed page I'm building, and IE will rightly realise that an image that isn't present isn't there - ie if it's not on my web server, IE won't display it.

But then if I place it on the server, and refresh it still doesn't think it's there, and even if I manually type in the URL of the image, I get 404 - other machines display this image fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ed Ludlow

When building a website the best thing to do is go to Tools --> Internet Settings. In the Temporary Internet Files click Settings. Under "Check for newer versions of stored pages", choose "Every Visit to the page". That should always pull the newest version of the page from the server.
 
Also, add this to your html pages.

Code:
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Mon, 01 Jan 1996 23:59:59 GMT">
