   Thanks for all help in advance.
   I am using Atahualpa Theme 2.2.1 with pageNavi and permalinks. I get 404 errors for pages after the first page.
   Website: https://depts.washington.edu/ophthweb/wordpress
   everything works ok on the home page when showing most recent posts, e.g., http://depts.washington.edu/ophthweb/wordpress/ and http://depts.washington.edu/ophthweb/wordpress/page/2/

   but if I use a link to a permalink, e.g.,
   http://depts.washington.edu/ophthweb/wordpress/faculty/

   I get a 404 error on page 2 and beyond (../page/2/)

   my .htaccess file is writable.
   Here's a snippet of a category page (category-38.php. 38 is the category ID for faculty).
   All I added was an H2 header and query_posts line and commented out the_time and the_author in the loop.

   any ideas on what I'm missing?

   <h2>Opthalmology Faculty</h2>

   	?>
   
   	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   
   		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   			<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   				<h2><a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

   			</div>
   
   		<?php endwhile; ?>
   <p>category-38.php</p>
   	<?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { ?>
   		<div class="wp-pagenavi-navigation">

   	<?php else : ?>
   		<h2 class="center"><?php _e('Not Found', 'atahualpa'); ?></h2>

   		<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>

   Instead of

   http://depts.washington.edu/ophthweb/wordpress/faculty/

   the actual URL should be

   http://depts.washington.edu/ophthweb/wordpress/category/faculty/

   Then it works for me:

   http://depts.washington.edu/ophthweb/wordpress/category/faculty/page/2/

   I've fixed this, here's the notes I've post on myblog(http://www.lixiaolai.com):
   This is not because of your .htaccess configuration, but becausae of the mechanism of the query_post() function used by WordPress. When you're using "index.php" as your "homepage", the default query is used, but if you're using "home.php" as your homepage (or you're using a page template elsewhere), you're in fact expected to use a customized query.

   In any page template, including user-defined "home.php", you'd better define your own query, don't simply write:

   
   <?php query_posts(); ?>
   <?php query_posts( 'posts_per_page=25' ); ?>
   

   rahter, you should construct a new instance of $wp_query:

   <?php
   $myqueryname = $wp_query;
   $wp_query = null;
   $wp_query = new WP_Query();
   $wp_query->query('showposts=5'.'&paged='.$paged);
   ?>

   ..., and then you can start the loop:

   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
     <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
     ... do whatever you like
     <?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php else : ?>
     ... what if there's no post matching myquery?
   <?php endif; ?>

   ... and now your navigation links should work properly:

   <div class="navigation">
     <div class="alignleft"><?php previous_posts_link('« Previous') ?></div>
     <div class="alignright"><?php next_posts_link('More »') ?></div>
   </div>

   ... and, you'd better not to forget destruct your instance of $wp_query:

   <?php $wp_query = null; $wp_query = $myqueryname;?>

   Here's the complete code of a page template that has working navigation links:

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: //Define Your Template Name Here
   */
   ?>
   
   <?php get_header(); ?>
     <?php
     $myqueryname = $wp_query;
     $wp_query = null;
     $wp_query = new WP_Query();
     $wp_query->query('showposts=25'.'&paged='.$paged);
   ?>
     <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       ...
       <?php endwhile; ?>
     <?php else : ?>
     ...
     <?php endif; ?>
   
   <div class="navigation">
     <div class="alignleft"><?php previous_posts_link('« Previous') ?></div>
     <div class="alignright"><?php next_posts_link('More »') ?></div>
   </div>
   
   <?php $wp_query = null; $wp_query = $myqueryname;?>
   
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   Hi xiaolai, I used your method above and I do now have a More> link on my page, but when i click the link it still shows the same data.

   http://www.ribs4u.co.uk/ribs-in-stock/page/2/ is the same as http://www.ribs4u.co.uk/ribs-in-stock/

   This is my php:
   

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   <div id="content">
     <?php
     $myqueryname = $wp_query;
     $wp_query = null;
     $wp_query = new WP_Query();
     $wp_query->query('showposts=5'.'&paged='.$paged);
   ?>
     <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   		<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   			<!--h2><a href="<?php //the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php //the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php //the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   			<small><?php //the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php //the_author() ?> --></small-->
   			<div class="entry clearfix">
   				<?php the_content('</p><p class="moreLink">Click here for the full boat details &raquo;'); ?>
   			</div>
   			<!--p class="postmetadata"><?php //the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); ?> Posted in <?php //the_category(', ') ?> | <?php //edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>  <?php //comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p-->
   		</div>
       <?php endwhile; ?>
     <?php else : ?>
   		<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
   		<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
     <?php endif; ?>
   
   <div class="navigation">
     <div class="alignleft"><?php previous_posts_link('« Previous') ?></div>
     <div class="alignright"><?php next_posts_link('More »') ?></div>
   </div>
   
   <?php $wp_query = null; $wp_query = $myqueryname;?>
   	</div>
   	<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   </div>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   How can I use this code to query posts only by certain IDs?

   levani01 - in case you haven't resolved this: you'll want to add parameters to your query_posts
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts

   such as query_posts('p=5');

   and thanks, xiaolai, I think this is what I've been looking for.
