new server gives text for jpeg images

I have many webpages with thumbnail pictures.
Each thumbnail is a hyperlink to a large picture.
The HTML code is similar to this:
[a href="full/full01.jpg"][img src="thumb/thumb01.jpg"][/a]

Now this worked okay on my old server. I got a new webhost,
and now when somebody clicks on thumbnail, they do not get
the full-size image. Whether you use IE, Mozilla or whatever,
same problem.

If I type URL of the image into the browser (for old server)
then I saw the image. But when I type in the URL for the
new server, it returns a page which is simply one line of
text being the URL I gave, instead of the image, e.g.
http://61.14.166.63/~kerstins/images/No.149.jpg

A silly question, but did you change the link correctly for the new server's
IP address? I goofed this up when I upgraded and gave thge new server a
different IP address. I also did a database change and my web page did not
reflect that either :(
Also, check the httpd.conf for matching of folders to the icons directory.

Firefox does this when the image content is not valid for the mime
type (but IIRC the mime type is for an image) e.g. viewing a GIF file
with mime type of PNG. But MSIE givse you the missing image icon.

I'd start by uploading an image to the site then downloading it
watching the HTTP exchange (using iehttpheaders in MSIE / firebug/
tamper data in Firefox). Make sure you transfer it as binary if you
have to use FTP.

I presume you are paying someone for your hosting - try asking them if
the procedure above doesn't reveal anything untoward.
