I use mod_rewrite from .htaccess all the time; just make sure that you
have the 'RewriteEngine on' directive in your .htaccess file before your
rewrite rules.

It's entirely possible, however, that the server admin has denied
permission for that action in the global httpd.conf, though. If you
simply cannot get rules to work -- rules that you know work on another
machine, for instance, that would be the next step to try.
