Have you properly configured your .htaccess file. Your site at the moment is using mod_rewrite. Or at least your Drupal thinks it is. Thats why your links are looking like

http://75.126.219.187/~tutulbha/riton

instead of

http://75.126.219.187/~tutulbha/index.php?q=riton

It looks nicer, but you have to configure the .htaccess file. Now I'm not too sure how it works with Drupal but I'm guess they provide you with a .htaccess file to upload to your scripts root directory. If your server does not support .htaccess then you can disable this, normally in a config.php file or somewhere in the database.

This is taken from the INSTALL.TXT file:

Quote:

- To use Drupal's "Clean URLs" feature on an Apache web server, you will need
the mod_rewrite module and the ability to use local .htaccess files. For
Clean URLs support on IIS, see "Using Clean URLs with IIS"
(http://drupal.org/node/3854) in the Drupal handbook.
