Take a look the section called Preserving Existing Query Parameters on http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts
Try merging in the existing query parameters; they might be getting overridden. Instead of:
<?php query_posts('cat=4'); ?>
try
global $query_string;
query_posts( $query_string . '&cat=4' );
