Have you tried:
– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
– switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
– resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting via Settings -> Permalinks. If this works, then review Using_Permalinks before setting a custom permalink structure back up again.

Checked all the plugins, and problem is theme-independent.
Checking on the .htaccess angle.

Ok, I’m completely stumped.
The problem has nothing to do with a plugin, or a theme. Messed with .htaccess to no avail.
Only works if I use the default permalink structure, which I do not want.
Any suggestions from anybody will be very much appreciated
Check with your hosts that mod_rewrite is running on your server.

Yep, mod_rewrite is running.
Then it would seem that your .htaccess file isn’t being read correctly.
Only works if I use the default permalink structure, which I do not want.
Yeah, that is entirely an issue with the .htaccess – Check to see what the AllowOverride options are set to in httpd.conf, and if mod_rewrite is turned on explicitly for YOUR account on the server.

I have another instance of WP installed in a subfolder for http://linuxnbsdos.com/ask, with an identical .htaccess file. That one works with the same permalink structure.
Calling my hosting provider to see what’s up.

Nope, problem is not from the hosting provider. Points to the permalink structure.
I’m out of options.
What’s your full and complete .htaccess then?
