You need to make the path proper. If you are using ASP controls you can try using ~/ to go to the root of the site no matter how deep it is.

Check the Master Page URLs like Scripts, Css links...

Ugh, I don't know how it could be, but I suspect homework... Ugh.

First off, love your name. It's like Mega + Nathan.

Ok, so it looks like you are using ".." to go up a directory hierarchy to a point past the highest directory that exists. You should probably check that your local and remote directory structures are identical.

Basically you have a bad path that's going up the directory path too high.
