Netscape for Windows home page quirk

We have several machines running Windows 3.1.1 and Netscape 2.02.  They are
set to default to the home page URL: http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/biz/ which
contains an HTML document with four inline graphics.

When first launching Netscape, the text loads properly as well as the first
image or two.  The remaining images never load (and appear as broken image
icons) and Netscape never quits being busy.  (Literally, this can go on for
hours.)  However, if one clicks "stop" and "reload" the page immediately
loads in toto.  Furthermore, clicking on anything away from the home page
and returning to the home page works properly.  (In other words, Netscape
never finishes displaying those last two images, but clearly they've been
brought over the net ok.)

Has anyone come across this problem before?  (Note, Netscape on the Mac
works properly; it's only our Windows version that has this problem.)

Thanks.
Paul
