I'll have a stab in the dark and say that it's probably a
Windows XP Service Pack 2 issue - either a new security setting in IE,
or something that the built-in firewall is now blocking. I've also
had a similar scenario after installing Norton Internet Security (which
strips referer headers before they're sent out), but that would normally
affect all browsers, not just IE.

If at all possible, a fix would be to use a server-side language to
explicitly write out the current document's URL in the link.
