Also it's old and shatty so it might not run properly anyway. Just wanting to bide some time before buying a new (PC) laptop.

Anyone had any experience with a stubborn iBook G4 and know what to do? I know how to get into my router settings if anyone knows what to do- seems like the Telus techs are a little busy today, and the last time I spoke with one they had no clue wtf was happening.
Chances are it is encryption issues like sclitheroe is saying.

If WEP doesn't work. Are you using the Telus Wireless router or a 3rd party router? I have a vague recollection of Telus requiring you to register your MAC address to connect to their network? Do they still do that with their new combo router/modem?
