html coding for app_offline.htm

I can't figure out the following problem. I am trying to create the simplest app_offline.htm file for when a user visits my page when it is shut down. The code is below:

<html>
   <head>
       <title>
       Website Offline
       </title>
   </head>
   <body>
       <img src="C:\Users\krj admin\Documents\My Web Sites\dotnetnuke\smiley.gif" alt="Smiley face" width="32" height="32" />
       <h2>This website is currently offline</h2>
       <p>
       We are currently performing maintenance on our website. Please check back later.
       </p>
       <p>
       Thank you for your patience.
       </p>
   </body>
</html>

For some reason, the image file doesn't come up properly. There is a small icon in the top left corner of a page being torn and the rest is just blank. The image file is just a simple .gif image. The path I like in img src is the directory of where the image is saved on my computer. What is the problem here? How do I get the image to appear?

Re: html coding for app_offline.htm

you image file is referencing a local UNC path (the path looks like it's finding the file on your hard drive rather than from the web server).

That path should be a URL from the web server. For example:

http://www.yoursite.com/portals/0/images/myimagename.gif

However, I still get the same error. What's the problem now?
