Hello

I have an imac g3 with 10.4 tiger on it and I am trying to connect to the wireless network we have. When I try to connect to the wireless network which has no encryption at all the imac g3 says there was error connecting to the wireless network. Any tips on how could I connect to my wifi network? The wifi network is seen by the imac g3 however it can't connect to it for some reason.

Any help is appreciated.Thanks.

An iMac G3 can only connect to a "B" wireless signal. If you have a newer N router, it may only be broadcasting in a mixed N/G wireless signal, or may be broadcasting in N alone. Check your router setting to make sure it's compatible.
