  Unfortunately you're going to find that in NN 4.08 CSS support is 
minimal. However, having said that, NN4 is more fussy about style sheets 
than IE and occasionally tiny mistakes like leaving out a hyphen, a 
single broken attribute or missing off units of measurement on 
height/width attributes can all completely break the style sheet so that 
it isn't displayed on NN4, but works fine on IE. Pages 62-63 of our 
Instant HTML book deal with this. I'd check your style sheets for little 
typos or omissions like that, as a lot of the basic style sheet 
functionality was included.

  I do have got a feeling external linking doesn't work at all in 
pre-4.5 versions of Nav (not 100% sure if works in post 4.5) also.

  It doesn't always seem to work in 4.7, my current version. I have a 
website in which I've properly (according the the manuals, standards, 
etc.) linked a style sheet. IE interprets it. NN 4.7 doesn't. The 
interesting thing is that I have exactly the same problem as described 
above. Among other editors, I use Homesite which allows you to check 
code for different browsers. According to Homesite, my style sheet 
should work with Netscape. Homesite calls a copy of Netscape and 
actually displays the style sheet correctly. Once it got to the server, 
no luck.
