Linking troubles

Some time ago I deceided to take a .TK address for my website, I didn't work since my links didn't do the job.

Later I deceided to leave the crappy .TK and changed it to .BE but with no luck, the problem of links stayed the same.

My original URL ( http://users.skynet.be/unclegoose ) works fine but the www.urbanprojects.be doesn't.

They guy who assigned my .BE told me he used a thing called cloaking-frame. And my guess is that this is the problem. How to fix this??

This is going to sound silly, but why not use "soft" links instead of "hard" links?

Examples:


Link in the same directory
Hard Link:
<a href="http://example.com/foo.bar">

Soft Link:
<a href="foo.bar">


Link in a different directory
Hard Link:
<a href="http://example.com/BIGfoo/foo.BIG">

Soft Link:
<a href="./BIGfoo/foo.BIG">



See how if you use "Soft" links, that it doesn't matter if the address is www.mysite.com/test/site/foor.bar or www.supercallafrag...pialladocious.com/ so it'll work no matter where you put or what DNS records you use for it as long as you keep the directory structure?
