Run your page through the w3 validator and weed your way through the
errors on your font tags, and you should find your problem. Apparently
you have font elements in illegal places, and possibly font color
attributes listed prior to your anchor tags (not sure, too many font
errors to determine), which may be causing your problem. Also, check
your doc type errors.

BTW, viewing in IE4.0, your link colors appear the way you describe
above.
