Hello,
We have a Belkin router and our internet service is through Wild Blue Satellite, via Directv. We live in a rural area and our high-speed options are few. The desktop computer and the router (and the Wild Blue/Directv receiver) are all in a 2nd floor upstairs bedroom. The Wild Blue satellite dish is on the roof (duh.)
My iBook G4 laptop, my MacBook and my husband's Dell all connect just FINE to our network and we're able to surf and work online.
My iBook G4 has OS 10.4.11, the same as my desktop with the connection problem. My MacBook has OS 10.5.7, just FYI.
In the recent past, my G4 desktop "Sawtooth" was able to connect wirelessly to my Airport Base Station (now given away and out of the house), and then be online via dial-up. Since we switched to high-speed, I've not been able to get online with the desktop.
The desktop recognizes our network, and I'm able to enter the WPA password. But at that point I receive this error message:
An error occurred joining the selected wireless network. Would you like to try again?
And despite trying several work-arounds, using Airport set-up utility, etc - the same thing results. I am able to choose our network and enter our password, but then the error message comes up.
Thanks for any advice!
Michelle
