Bad https:// references — how do i fix them??

Problem is as follows:

1) Admin theme / CSS: I’d been having some quirky things going on from the start with my installation…

1a) Whenever i’d click on the “view site” link at the top of the admin, it’d link to this freaky address (“www.my.com” substituted for my site…):

https://www.my.com/wordpress/wp-admin/https://www.my.com/

1b) when getting a second wp dirven site up and running on a different hosting location, the admin interface was completely different. Actually, the new site has the new 1.5 theme and it appears that I’d been running https://www.my.com/wp-admin.php without the new / an old stylesheet. (i always wondered why mine looked different) When I view the pagesource for my admin interface, i get the following crazy https:// ref:

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”../wordpress/wp-admin/https://www.my.com/wp-admin/wp-admin.css” type=”text/css” />

1c) from the get go, my default kubric theme was as if it was not there.

Question — any thoughts on where i go to fix these refernce problems?

Thanks — hops
