Not sure your post was clear or if you meant this, Matt. IE 4 does display 
PNG format images inline in web pages. It has problems reading stand-alone 
PNGs. Fireworks default format is PNG. This is different from the "regular" 
PNG that you would want to use. If you want to use PNG format for inline 
images on web pages, export to PNG from Fireworks, do not use the Fireworks 
file itself.

for details)
