IBook can't connect!

My old iBook has OS 10.4 - 700 MHz Power PC G3. I have the AirPort card 9.52. Why can't I get on the internet. All our other computer connect but not this one. We have WAP2 security on the main computer. Somewhere I read that might be the problem. We have a Netgear Wireless Router WNR2000
if that helps. Our main computer is a PC not a Mac but I have two other Mac that will connect, a G5 and a new MacBook Pro. Please someone help me.

The problem is likely WPA2, the original 802.11b Airport card can do WPA at the very most.

Powerbook & iBook can't connect simultaeneously with D-link 300-t modem

Please help
After much pulling of hair I finaly got my G4 Powerbook to connect to the internet via my airport express through a d-link 300-t modem. This I achieved by changing the default ip address of the modem from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.234 and configuring the airport express manually to be 192.168.1.233.
My problem is that my son now has an iBook which he can connect to the internet through the same modem, but we can't connect at the same time. I keep getting the message " 81.178.76.171 in use by 00:11:24:24:25:7d,DHCP Server 192.168.1.234" ( modem ip). Both machines configure IPv4 using DHCP.
I don't want to configure his iBook manually if I don't have to as he doesn't live here and I don't want to muck up his settings for other places he may wish to use it.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Is the Airport Express distributing IP addresses?
Probably no
You can set up a new location on his iBook which will not conflict or change his current settings.

IBook can no longer connect to wireless network

I have a wireless network set up in my home using a Linksys wireless router. While it has worked fine in the past, I can no longer connect to it with my G4 iBook running 10.3.9. It shows up in my network connections with a strong signal but when I open a browser it can't connect to the internet. When I try to open 'Internet Connect' to explore the issue I get the spinning beach ball and have to Force Quit. When I open the network status window, I get a message for Airport that says "Airport is connected to the network 'name of my network'. Airport does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the Internet".
I have an iMac G5 connected to the router through ethernet cable and it works fine. I have an iMac G4 connected wirelessly to the same wireless router and it works fine. I have a Dell laptop that can also connect wirelessly to the wireless router with no problem.
It appears something is corrupt with the Internet Connect utility?
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Doug

What type of IP address are you getting? If it starts with 169, it indicates that your iBook can not connect to the DHCP server provided by the router.
Have you enabled the MAC address filtering on the router? If so, remember that you must add the AirPort MAC address for your iBook.
If you have a correct IP address, perhaps it is a DNS issue. See KB 106798, Mac OS: Troubleshooting "A connection failure has occurred", "The specified server could not be found" or Similar Messages.

My new iPhone 4S can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi. Works with 3G network. How to fix this?

My new iPhone 4S (week old) can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi (and some other apps e.g. Hollister – but most of the other apps like Safari or ebay work fine). There is no problem with those apps loading via 3G network. When I turn off the wi-fi, it runs over 3G and i can access App store without any problem. When i turn off the 3G network and turn the Wi-Fi on, those apps like App Store won't work, other apps work fine. When i turn on both Wi-Fi and 3G, the App store (and so on) is also not working, other apps are.
I also found out that when the Wi-fi is on and I sign out my apple ID, the App store starts working! But when I log in again, it will imediatelly stop working. I've tried logging in with others apple IDs, still with the same result. There is no problem with my apple ID account, because it works on my iPad, even via Wi-Fi.
When i first set up my iPhone, there were no complications using App store ia Wi-fi with exactly the same account. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but this problem started when i logged in with my UK account and then wanted to log back in with my Czech account.
I tried turning it off, hard reset and deleting my iPhone several time (even without back up). Nothing worked since then.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
I would really appreciate ANY help. This porblem is driving me crazy!

I am also having the same issue. Please help!

Can't connect to internet after software update to iBook G4

I recently installed updates to itunes, quicktime, and the the latest security update for os x 10.3.9 on my iBook G4. Now I can't connect to the internet via my airport express. This happened the last time I updated the software, but I can't remember what I did to fix it. Can anyone help?

I am experiencing the exact same problem with my sister's laptop. iBook G4 10.3.9 I just installed Security update 2007-008 and quicktime update. After the reboot her airport connected to the house router, but will not acquire an IP address. The other computers in the house have remained connected to the router without change. I have a another iBook G4 running on 10.4.11 with the same network settings and I have no trouble whatsoever. I re-enetered the WAP password, reorganized the network connection priorities and repaired permissions, but cannot get the computer to acquire an IP address.
Any ideas??

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

You might have better luck posting in the OS X forum. This forum is for the iPhone.

Can't connect (wireless) to my Airport Express anymore with iBook, iPad or iPhone.

Can't connect (wireless) to my Airport Express anymore with iBook, iPad or iPhone. It still recognizes the printer on the iBook (bonjour), but not on my Windows notebook (work). The only device that still connects via wireless is the PlayStation 3.

The latest firmupdate solved the issue.

I can't connect to a secure network on my G3 iBook

Hello, I'm running Mac OS 9.2 on a Tangerine iBook with an Airport card.
I can't connect to any of the secured / password protected networks that I can set up with my AirPort Express (WEP, WPA2 Personal, WPA/WPA2).
I CAN connect to the network (and the Internet) **if** I set up an unsecured network on my AirPort Express (which I don't want to do).
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Mike

Can I connect my iBook via Airport/Ethernet to share internet?

I have a G5 iSight connected via Airport to the internet. I want to connect my G3 iBook via Ethernet to the G5 and connect to the web. When I opened Sharing on the G5 and started sharing my connection, it warned me that doing so might cause problems. And it was right. I lost the internet connection to the G5 and had to reboot the modem.
Before I rebooted, I opened up Network on the iBook and saw that Ethernet had an active internet address of something like 196.168.... with a "3" on the end -- the same sort of number as my G5 is assigned except that it has a "1" on the end (I think).
Is it possible to share my G5's internet connection with my iBook? How?

Thanks for the response, Camelot. It is still no go. This is what I did. For the G5:
1. +Network > Airport+ (under TCP/IP) gives the IP address as 192.168.1.1, and the router as 192.168.1.254.
2. In +Network > Built in Ethernet > TCP/IP+ I selected manually (for configure IPv4), then typed in 10.0.0.1 and the sub mask you suggested. The router I left blank.
3. I applied the above.
4. Under Sharing, I selected +Share your connection from: Airport+; +To computers using: built in Ethernet+.
5. When I selected Start I got the warning: +If your computer is connected to a network, turning on Internet sharing may affect the network settings of other computers and disrupt the network. Contact your system administrator before turning on Internet sharing.+
6. I booted the iBook (OSX 10.3.9) and opened Network preferences to see what happened when I connected the Ethernet cable. Under +Network Status+ I saw Ethernet come up with a yellow button (and a message), and then a green button with the message: +Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address 192.168.2.3. You are connected to the internet via built in Ethernet.+
7. When I checked +Built in Ethernet > TCP/IP+ on the iBook it was set to DHCP.
8. The iBook would not connect to the internet, but the G5 would. At least that's an improvement.
Seems a curly one to me.

Time Capsule woes -- Connection timeouts and can't connect with one Macbook

This is my second Time Capsule. Here's the scenario:
I have a Netopia 3347 DSL modem. That feeds into the Time Capsule in bridge mode. There is a MacBook (metal case), iBook (yes, it's old), two iphones, a color printer and an iPad that can all connect to the Time Capsule just fine. The problem is my MacBook can't connect. The offending computer is a 2.2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo running SL 10.6.6. This computer can connect to the Netopia just fine, so I know its internal Airport works. After several go arounds with Apple tech support, I'm still nowhere.
Here are the symptoms:
1. I can see the TC's network SSID in the airport pull down menu. If I select the TC, a popup appears and asks for a password. If I enter the password, I'll get a connection timeout error.
2. On the rare occasions where it does connect, I can't open a webpage. Network diagnostics has red dots for ISP Internet and Server
3. On the even rarer occasions where it does connect, and I can access a webpage, it's unbearably slow, and the no-surf problem reappears after a few seconds. The red dots on the Network Diagnostics reappear.
Apple tech support was not helpful. I've power cycled everything a million times (and that doesn't explain why other computers can connect.) I know it's not my computer, because it can connect to the Netopia just fine.
I am STUMPED.

Magnificent! Problem solved... Isn't there a "this solved my problem" button somewhere?? Thanks and thanks again!

Can't connect to computers on the same network and same office

Hi everyone, I have this problem from some time now, I have on the same network some computers with ethernet, and some with Wi-Fi.
All are connected to the C-Net Wireless-G Router.
My iBook is on the Wi-Fi zone (All have 10.4.11) and I can see the computers on the Ethernet area, but I have an iMac 2.0 next to my iBook and I can't see it.
How is that possible? Am I making something wrong with the subnet mask or IP address?
All are configured to use 192.168.1.254 as the router and on the subnet 255.255.255.0. Manually.
The IP variates from device to device on the 192.168.1.X numbers, starting with 100 on the iMac, and ending with 113 on an old 8600.
Wy can't I see the iMac?, si so close that I can reach her with my hands, but can't connect to transfer files over the network.
If anyone could give me a hand here, I will apprettiate the advice.
Thaks to everyone, Pablo from Argentina.

How is the iMac 2.0 connected? cable or wireless?
iMac is on Wi-Fi.

You are on a different subnet. In x.x.x.0 the x's are different.
All the computers are in the same subnet, cable ones and wi fi ones.
All are configured to use 192.168.1.254 as the router and on the subnet 255.255.255.0. Manually.
The IP variates from device to device on the 192.168.1.X numbers, starting with 100 on the iMac, and ending with 113 on an old 8600.
Look at what ip addresses you have on each machine.
I have different IPs on each machine, do you need the numbers?
Wy can't I see the iMac?, si so close that I can reach her with my hands, but can't connect to transfer files over the network.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Network Utility.app
Use the ping command to see what is going on. Ping 192.168.1.254, source & destination machine. 127.0.0.1 is an alias of the machine you are on.

check out port scan. This will tell you if sharing is on.
