as suggested above the path will "/sites/..." will work.. reason being:

/sites/ = domain_root/sites/, whereas,
sites/ = current url/sites/, and obviously the image will not be found on this url

also, when adding node content, ensure that your input format is full html, else <img> tag wont work in the node body..
