RRAS/IIS on same server causing problems?

I have one server filling alot of roles (not recommended i know, but it's
all i have available). This config worked fine in 2003, but I recently
installed server 2008 and am experiencing a weird issue.

The server has 2 NICs, one internal net, the other internet connection
I have RRAS setup to give the LAN side internet access.
I have IIS7 setup on the same server, bound to all IPs/adapters

Anyone on the internet can connect to my IIS pages just fine

Internal computers, however, will display the text of the pages, but not
load any images (the images are all PNGs) if i try to connect to the public
IP address, but load fine if i use the local. When i had 2003, i could use
either address and everything would still load just fine. Every other web
site works fine for the local computers, just not the one hosted on the
server using the external IP address. I would like to be able to use the
public address, so that I can use the normal internet domain names for my
site. Anyone run into this issue before, or have any insights?

Thanks!

Where are the images held, on the IIS7 machine?

I wonder if you have used local paths to reference the images, which
might not be valid over the T'internet - IIS7 is a lot less forgiving
in this respect than IIS6 - or maybe they are in a folder which
doesn't have correct permissions?

You don't say but I wonder if users on the LAN are authenticated and
can see images, but requests from outside (which would come in as
IUSR_BLAH) are not.

The web site is from a directory on the server itself, ntfs permissions are
set to everyone full control (i know its not correct to do that, but i am
trying to eliminate possible problems right now). I have the seit setup in
IIS to be bound to all ip's. If i type the local ip from a machine on the
LAN, the site loads, if i tyoe the public ip, i get the text of the site,
but no png's load. If it were a permissions thing, it shouldnt work with
either ip address. It seems like rras isn't transferring something quite
right, but i dont know how to diagnose this kind of problem.
