   When I was wanted to show a specific number of posts in a category, I was able to make posts_nav_link work using this code:

   <?php query_posts($query_string . '&showposts=3'); ?>

   However, once I turned my permalinks to date and name-based, the 'Next' link broke after clicking it an additional time.

   I am also using a category template (category-4.php) if that might be the cause.

   Here is my code:

   <h2 class="cat"><?php echo single_cat_title(); ?></h2>
   
   <?php query_posts($query_string . '&showposts=3'); ?>
   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   <div class="entry">
   <h3 class="entrytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">
   <?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
   
   <?php the_meta(); ?>
   
   <div class="entrybody">
   <?php the_excerpt();?>
   </div>
   
   <div class="entrymeta">
   <?php the_time('F j, Y '); ?> &bull; <?php the_category(); ?> &bull;
   <?php $comments_img_link= '<img src="' . get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/comments.gif"  title="comments" alt="*" />';
   comments_popup_link($comments_img_link .' Comments(0)', $comments_img_link .' Comments(1)', $comments_img_link . ' Comments(%)'); ?>
   <?php edit_post_link(__(' Edit')); ?>
   </div>
   
   <!--
   <?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
   -->
   </div>
   <?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>
   <?php endwhile; else: ?>
   <p>
   <?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>
   </p>
   <?php endif; ?>
   <p>
   <?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('&laquo; Previous Page'), __('Next Page &raquo;')); ?>
   </p>
   </div>

   Any suggestions?
