My OS is WinXP Pro, )with all of the updates/security updates). Using the latest IE 6.0 browser. If I browse to my local web server (IIS) all of the animations perform as expected...but, from the internet there is no animation. Help.

It is possible the settings are funky in IE.
Pull up IE.
Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced
Look under Multimedia. Ensure that the box for "play animations" is checked.

Also, for IE6 to play a gif as an animation, it must have a loopindex during creation, as far as I know. When I make an animated gif, I specify the looping being infinite - this is what IE6 needs. Not sure if you made the gifs or not, so I thought I'd mention it.
