I see the images and rollover on my machine now. If you're still not seeing
them, maybe try clearing out the browser cache (usually in preferences)?
That's one way to have it not be seen in some-but-not-all browsers (usually
just the authoring machine).

For what it's worth, the most frequent way we see similar symptoms online,
where no one but the author can see the images, is when the path to the
images is actually a "file://" type of address. The easiest way to avoid
this is to make sure each file is actually saved into the local working
copy of the site before linking them together.

(Tip: Many of us set Dreamweaver's preferences to "Show Site Window at
startup", and then make a new file right into the local site before doing
any work on it... this makes sure that every document has an actual
location before making relative links.)
