Cannot access second page with rewrite

I have the common problem of not being able to access the second page of a topic with this rewrite. I know that this is a common problem because I have read of it on several boards.

Here is the strange thing. I have contacted technical support for my server. I have tried to install it on two different websites. I get the same problem on both websites.

I've tried to install it on a forum with no mods. Same problem. I've tried to install it on a forum that presides in the root directory. Same problem.

What I have noticed on different boards is that most people with this problem give up on the modrewrite. But I want to know is there anything else that one can suggest?

My server told me that the problem resides within the rules themselves.
