Ok, so I am hoping that someone can help. When I use the Permalink default Settings, http://domain.com/blog/?p=123, my pages and categories all work.
Now, if I change the setting to any of the others, say http://domain.com/blog/2011/04/sample-post/, my pages link all work but my categories links give me a Error 404 - Page Not Found
If I now keep the setting as http://domain.com/blog/2011/04/sample-post/, then go to the Permalink Migration and add in /%category% as my Old permalink, well that causes my categories links to work but now my pages link give me the Error 404 - Page Not Found
Any ideas? Thanks.
Have you reviewed Using_Permalinks?
With permalinks enabled, I would expect your category links to be formatted as follows:
http://domain.com/blog/category/_cat_name
Without specific live examples, it is kind of hard to offer a more detailed diagnosis.

source: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
/%category%/%postname%/
Is a nice one to set inside the custom permalink structure.
If the permalink structures are not working, dont forget that in APACHE, the module "LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so" needs to be turned on (by removing the hash before it).
If you do not own the server, A simple call to your servive provider will result in it being turned on..
boy i hope that helps!

I have reviewed using permalinks. Just can't find the answer.
Here is the URL: http://speedzoneusa.com/blog
If you click on any of the categories, like "Bearing", the page loads fine. When you click on the About page or Team Page at the top, you get the Error 404 - Page Not Found
This is with /%category% as my Old permalink and settings with http://speedzoneusa.com/blog/2011/04/sample-post/ If I change that to /%category%/%postname%/, the About and Team Pages now work, BUT the Category links like Bearing now stop working.
Set your Permalink to /%postname%%/ and see if that works. As noted on the Using Permalinks: For performance reasons, it is not a good idea to start your permalink structure with the category, tag, author, or postname fields. The reason is that these are text fields, and using them at the beginning of your permalink structure it takes more time for WordPress to distinguish your Post URLs from Page URLs
