Do you have a link on your home page that links to your links page?

[edward]

No !!

for the spider to find your links page it needs to be able to follow a link to the links page from another page in your website.

Hope this helps.

I'm using a rollover on the main page that points to links page, all the links on the links page are contained in a table...

[mack]

If the rollover is using javascript it may not be able to follow the link. Im not very familiar with the spider you are using , but is it not possible to specify the url of the links page and let it spider from there???

I'm using the spider tool from Searchengineworld.com..

OK gotcha now...
The spider must not be able to follow the JS that is used in the rollover. This will probably mean that other spiders will not be able to locate this page. To be honest I think I would leave it because the only peopel who will benefit from your links page is the people you link to. You wont loose any PR if you leave it as it is, simply because only a browser can follow the link.

... found the problem. I didn't add / after my URL "..//www.prosoundtools.com/"
the spider now lists the absolute address of all my pages

Thanks
