Try to escape URL in parenthesis:
lynx "http://somethere.net/path?etc=1&2=3";

Try to start lynx with -trace flag and look into Lynx.trace file,
grep for "GET " string for actual http request and other info.

If the above does not help, please send us more information:
the command-line string (exactly) and Lynx version.
