Help,
I've just inherited a powerbook G4 with OS X operating system. This is my first mac and so far I love it other than I can't hook it up to my wireless network at home. The airport recognizes the network but when I put in the password it says password is incorrect for this network.
I looked at the log and it says airport problem scanning. But it does pick up the network in the menu.
My network is WEP protected so i converted the |ASCII into hex and entered that as well. Didn't work. I also entered the password with letters just as the router was set up with "" and with a $ sign. Both numerically and by letters. I also disabled the WEP through the router and tried that. I have read that you can connect via ethernet and then reserve your address through DHCP. But I'm not sure where in the DLINK menu I can do this. Plus, I am not sure of my mac Address....I mean it gives it to me, but where do I place it in the router section. Any help would be appreciated. And maybe a walkthrough of the steps as I am computer illiterate when it comes to a mac. I have had a pc for 15 years.
My router is DLINK WRB-2310.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
