    did you save from the browsers? maybe thats the problem, because the url addresses changes to local computer

    check in the <a> tag and check if the href has http:// at the start of the url

    how does the source code look like?
    is it something like this: <a href="c:\blah\...\moreblah\www.yahoo.com">

    if so remove everything before www and http:// before www. or just add www. before it if its missing
