How to have featured image link to larger version in Wordpress?

How do I link a post's featured image to its full size version on a category page?

Here is my loop on my category.php:

    <h1>Professional Portfolio Gallery - <?php single_cat_title(); ?></h1>
    <p><?php echo category_description(); ?></p>
    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
    <ul class="portfolio">
    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <li>
    <?php 
    if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
    the_post_thumbnail();
    } 
    ?>
    <?php the_excerpt(); ?></li>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    </ul>   
    <?php wp_paging(); ?>
    <?php else : ?>

    <h1>Not Found</h1>
    <p><?php _e("Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here."); ?></p>

    <?php endif; ?>

Any help would be appreciated!

To link Post Thumbnails to the full size version you should be able to use the following:

<?php 
  if ( has_post_thumbnail()) {
  $full_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'full');
  echo '<a href="' . $full_image_url[0] . '" title="' . the_title_attribute('echo=0') . '" >';
  the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail');
  echo '</a>';
}
?>

You can find out more about this redirect here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_post_thumbnail

Hope that helps!
