Joe,

If the PNG is in the base path, then I think you want the img src to be:

<IMG Alt="JCT" src="http://jct.consoftonline.com/jobcosttools.png">

With your server app running, open Internet Explorer or Chrome and put 
this in as the URL - what happens?  I just tried it and got a bluehost 
404 page.  This leads me to believe that your app is not waiting on port 
80.  Is it waiting on a different port?  If so, your URL would be:

http://jct.consoftonline.com:999/jobcosttools.png
where '999' is the port number.

In fact, I got your default web page, and it shows a URL of 
http://70.57.226.41:11500/

This should really not show your IP address.

Are you using an Apache webserver or IIS?  What 'middleware' is between 
your modem and the CWS web server app?

When I use this as the URL, I get your PNG:

http://70.57.226.41:11500/jobcosttools.png

HTH,
Jim Moseley
