Another 301 redirect question

[Gaedhuil]

Good day all... I am new here, and need a little advice. I have a forum which shows up as http://example.net, but I wanted it to show up as http://www.example.net.

Now, I know exactly how to do this with the .htaccess. However, when I click on the index page, or the banner, it leads me off to http://www.example.net/index.php, and I see that I am receiving a couple of backlinks to the /index.php, and would like to direct all my main page links to http://www.example.net

Is this possible, and what am I supposed to do?

Thanks in advance,

Regards.

I'd recommend a search [google.com] to narrow and focus your questions.
