Problem with permalinks and custom static homepage with defined category

    I created a custom homepage because I wanted to only display a certain category on the homepage only but wordpress only allows pages to be static. I used this code to display the category:
    <?php query_posts('cat=1&showposts='.get_option('posts_per_page')); ?>

    So it only displays this one category on the homepage. It works wonders, however when I click on the “Keep Reading” link to go to the next set of posts, the permalinks aren’t functioning correctly and although the link says url.com/page/2 it loads the front page so I can never get to the other pages. I know that the url is being displayed wrong because of the fact that this category is on the home page. I need the links to say: http://url.com/category/uncategorized/page/2/

    So my question is how do I set up the permalinks manually so that it will work for my custom homepage?

    Try:

    <?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts('cat=1&posts_per_page='.get_option('posts_per_page') .'&paged=' . $paged); ?>
