You don't write what exactly is your problem with the output generated by
latex2html. My guess is that at least one problem is that the URLs entered
using the URL inset are not translated into hyperlinks.

You don't need to use include the fontenc and url packages, as LyX

This is a warning message of latex2html telling that it doesn't know how to
handle these packages (although it can handle the \url command).

Before running latex2html from LyX, you need to create a .aux file by
selecting file->export->dvi. This bug was fixed in lyx 1.1.6

LyX generates the following latex code:
\IfFileExists{url.sty}{\usepackage{url}}
{\newcommand{\url}{\texttt}}
which is used to define a simple \url command if the url.sty package is not
available. However, latex2html doesn't understand the IfFileExists, which
causes it to redefine \url as \texttt, and therefore, it will not create a
hyperlink when the \url command is used.
Solutions to this problem:
1) Check if this bug happens in the latest version of latex2html.
2) Switch to another latex->html converter.
3) Export the lyx file to tex, and change the two lines above
(\IfFileExists... ) to '\usepackage{url}', and run latex2html manually.
4) Write a script that does (3) or use the lyx2html script from
