I've used relative images in external css with direct connect without problems. 
If it isn't working, then look in the page source. 

What does the link to the stylesheet look like? Is it using Wonder's _wr_ 
resource request handler?  

No? That's the problem (^_^)

Yes? If you modify the stylesheet url and add your image path manually, does it 
produce the desired image? If not, the perhaps you are not including your 
images in your WebServerResources project folder?  Misspelled name? Case 
sensitivity issue?
