LaTeX2HTML was developed independently to pdflatex.
Being based upon LaTeX there is an implicit assumption that 
included graphics will be in .eps form,
so that they can be rendered by Ghostscript.

However this does *not* mean that .png graphics cannot be used.
Until I (or someone else) devise a better strategy,
you will have to use "conditional code" such as:

\begin{latexonly}
 \includegraphics{theimage.png}
\end{latexonly}
\htmladdimg{../theimage.png}
%           ^^^ --- adjust the path appropriately

The \htmladdimg command is defined in  html.sty 
so you must have \usepackage{html} in the preamble.

There are optional arguments available for \htmladdimg .
Consult LaTeX2HTML documentation to find what is possible.

You can give a complete path to the image *provided it is within
the file-system known to the web-server*, or you can copy
it to another location.
LaTeX2HTML will *not* copy images automatically
 --- generally there is no need; a hyperlink suffices. 



Hope this helps,
