Joomla links redirect to localhost

[IberoMedia]

Hello,

I have Joomla 1.6 and XAMPP 1.7.4

My Joomla website was working normally. A couple of days ago, when I click on any of the links of my homepage I am redirected to localhost, instead of the address indicated in the URL.

Could anyone tell me why is this happening, and how can I fix it?

Thank you,

[IberoMedia]

There was an error in my .htaccess file

I simply copied and pasted the original htacess.txt content into my .htaccess and now I can click on links with no problem
