Transferring Site To New Server Problems (Images Not Showing

I am transferring a Sitefinity 3.7 Site from the server it's on, over to another server (from IIS 6 to IIS 7) and seem to be having some problems. The content managed images within the site all seem to be showing 404 errors. I have copied the database to the new server, and copied all the files to the new server changing the connection string to suit. All of the site works besides the images. Does anyone have a solution or anysuggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Would you care to enlighten us on what files those mappings should map to?

Thanks,
Dennis
