Absolute (external) URLs with Html.ActionLink

I'm unable to get Html.ActionLink to produce absolute urls.

Html.ActionLink(DataBinder.Eval(c.DataItem, "Name").ToString(), DataBinder.Eval(c.DataItem, "Path").ToString())

This pulls the data from my model correctly, but appends the path to the end of the current page, producing URLs like "http://localhost:24590/www.google.com"

How can I get this to work how I want it to?

This works for me:

<a href="http://@Model.URL">
    Click Here
</a>

Use an absolute URL starting with i.e. http://.

<a href="www.google.com"></a>

would have the same result, because it's a relative url.
