PPT-File contains internet-gif, and showing it fails without Internet-connection?

[Peter]

Hi,
i became a ppt (2003) from collegue to show it with my notebook. At home
(with WLAN), everything was fine, outside without InternetConnection,
the presentation with PPViewer 2007 failed and also the opening of the
file with pp2000 on my notebook failed. Both ways to open the file while
InternetConnection is on are good.

I looked in the folder temporary internet files, deleted all with IE7
and found in the empty folder a "menu.gif" (which is a one-pixel-line)
with a "www.herecomesthepix.org" after opening the file.

So there must be a link to this file somewhere in the ppt. It seems to
me, that my collegue used some other graphics from this www-site, and so
i tried to cut all the suspicious graphics, pasted it in Photopaint and
returned it in PP as hardware-independet (?) Bitmap - but i didn't have
sucess with this way.

What can i do to find the problem?

On a other Notebook without LAN, but with PP2003 on it, the PPTs will
go. This is something i don't understand. Please say not, don't jump
between the versions....



Thanks!
Peter
