  \href  is for *external* URLs, not internal links.

With \href you need to give the full URL, including the  http://  prefix,
unless you have also given a location with \hyperbaseurl .

For internal links, use  \hypertarget  and  \hyperlink .

Read  hyperref  package documentation for details of the syntax;
e.g. in  The LaTeX Web Companion, Addison Wesley, 1999.
