okay I have a free webpage and I have a site I bought... to consume space on my site I am paying for I want to direct link to myself... I have uploaded the images to my free server space and the zip files as well.

now heres the problem... i thought all i needed to do was use this code:

<a href="address you want image to click to"><img src="your file name.gif(or jpg)" border="0"></a>

and put the address of the file at the free server... but for some reason my host is sticking my pay site address infront of the free address, making it not find the files.

this is what i mean

<a href="www.mypaysite.com/address you want image to click to"><img src="www.mypaysite.com/your file name.gif(or jpg)" border="0"></a>

what am i doing wrong?

You have to use the entire path for the image, such as:
http://www.freesite.com/yourusername/image.gif

okay let me try adding the http:// and see if that helps... i didnt even think it might be cause i started with www.
