Noobie needs help.

Then i bring it to my home and go to try connect to the wireless network in my house.
I have no Airport card apperently
and my wireless D-Link finder doesn't want to work with the mac.

What do i need to do/buy to get this all working ?

That is a Powermac Quicksilver G4. That takes internally the old Airport card. You can find one on Ebay.

Since the old Airport Card is Wireless "B" 11Mbps, a better option would be a PCI card or an USB adapter that has OSX support. Check out OWC (Other World Computing) as everything they sell will for sure work with OSX.

In my old Quicksilver, I have an Linksys PCI G card. I forget the model but will look it up later and post it. Works great in 10.4 and 10.5 OSX.

Not sure how new this list is, but they give models of cards that work with Macs with OSX.

eg; ebay links etc

Half the things you just said didn't make sense to me.

ok so you have a fast g4 with OSX,click on the top left hand corner(apple) and click on about this mac,it should say something to the effect of "Mac OSX 10.4.2 Tiger" or or so,what does it say?
(Just trying to get some info on what software is on it.)

Mac OS X
version 10.5.8

Processor: 867MHZ PowerPC G4
2MB L3 cache
Memory 1GB SDRAM


thats all it says

Very impressive...looks like someone has had their hands in the machine,it's well speced for a G4,ok,what you need is a usb wifi adapter,very simple about $25-35,if you see one in store just check if it supports Apple machines,your info says that you should have a pretty good OSX machine that should be well supported.

I only bought it for £120 aswell

So all i need is a apple wifi adapter and it'll connect to the internet in my house?
Simple as?
