So links between webs and subwebs are like any external link such as a link
to www.microsoft.com and that is why they show up on the Broken Link report?
If my website on my hard drive is C:\website and my subweb is
C:\website\subweb, then a link from the subweb to the index page on the
website would be file:///c:/website/index.html and a link from the website
to page1.html in the subweb would be file:///c:/website/subweb/page1.html.
This is how the links look like when I create them in FP 2000.

When I publish to the server where my website is www.web.com, the links will
be converted to www.web.com/index.html and www.web.com/subweb/page1.html,
respectively. Is that correct?
