Here is the source of those links - taken from the source view in my 
browser while viewing the index page:


<A HREF="anubis.hi-line.net/storm/cgi-bin/simple/account.html"><B><FONT 
SIZE=1 FACE="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica" COLOR=#FFFFFF>Profile</FONT></B></A>
<A HREF="anubis.hi-line.net/storm/cgi-bin/simple/browse1.html"><B><FONT 
SIZE=1 FACE="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica" COLOR=#FFFFFF>Products</FONT></B></A>
<A HREF="anubis.hi-line.net/storm/cgi-bin/simple/feedback.html"><B><FONT 
SIZE=1 FACE="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica" COLOR=#FFFFFF>Contact</FONT></B></A>
<A HREF="anubis.hi-line.net/storm/cgi-bin/simple/new_account.html"><B><FONT 
SIZE=1 FACE="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica" 
COLOR=#FFFFFF>Registration</FONT></B></A>

The problem with these links is simple - "http://"; was inadvertantly left 
our of the href, probably on the template page, or by makecat.  The browser 
thinks it is a relative link, so it prepends it with your site URL.  Some 
day Mike will fix this; until then first-time installees everwhere will 
continue to go insane ;->  This is a static page in you htdocs space.  Just 
edit these hrefs and you will be fine!

As Joachim said, upon enetering your store, everything seems in 
order.  What is the problem, really?
