What would stop a simple link from working just because www. was not used before the domain name?

Example:  
[http://dreamstreetms.org/](http://dreamstreetms.org/)  
left menu doesn’t work

[http://www.dreamstreetms.org/](http://www.dreamstreetms.org/)  
left menu works here.

Thanks ahead for your reply
