[QUOTE="spongebue, post: 155763"] First of all, [B]I have entered the WEP key the way I always have, same code.[/B] It also runs fine with other laptops, so I know it's not the router. That leaves me with my iBook. Now, on with the story! I use my iBook G3 (12", 500MHz) on a variety of wireless networks. There are 2 at my house (one doesn't reach far, the other works better and was only $5) both are encrypted using WEP with the same key. Neither of them work. I also use this at school, and occasionally at work, both of which are unencrypted. I first experienced problems at times at home, on router #1 (AKA, Actiontec) When I went from an unsecure to secure network, it would sometimes require a reboot (although, I think that was after work, which was also named Actiontec) Now, I cannot connect to either Actiontec or my other router, AKA hawking. When I enter the AirPort password, it gives me the same error I receive when putting in the wrong password (AirPort could not join the selected network Actiontec/hawking) Like I said, I know it's not a laptop problem, as it works with other things on the wireless network. Has anyone had (and prefferably solved ;) ) this problem? If so, how can I fix it? Of course, if you know of a way to fix it but you haven't had that problem, that's fine, too :P ) thanks, spongebue [/QUOTE]
