Wordpress redirecting to home page for non existent page

Question

I have following rule set in my htaccess. When I try to access any non existent page it redirects me to home page. How can I stop this redirection to home page. I need to show 404 page of my theme.

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

Have you enabled Permalinks? Also you need to check whether your Wordpress site uses .htaccess to do its redirections, have you tried changing the AllowOverride None directive to AllowOverride All ?
