[QUOTE="chscag, post: 947888, member: 46727"] It's possible the airport card in the iBook is having problems. The iBook is an older machine which has been around for awhile. Before doing any further extensive trouble shooting, you might want to try to reset the router back to factory default (use the reset button - check manual) and start over. Just make sure you copy down any ISP proprietary settings before doing the reset. Set the router up to use PPPoE and DHCP. You can either leave the DNS settings blank or use [URL="http://www.opendns.com/"]OpenDNS[/URL]. If the above doesn't help..... Not being able to connect using ethernet is usually a sign of trouble either hardware related or improper setup. Was the iBook working OK before? Did the owner make any changes to his\her on line setup, either wireless or ethernet? If you can navigate your way around in Tiger OS X, go to "System Preferences", Network, and check the settings. (don't bother with wireless until you get ethernet working) Post back to this same thread and we can try to go from there. Regards. [/QUOTE]
