Q: After OSX reinstall, cannot enter WPA2 password on Powerbook G4.
In anticipation of selling my 12-inch G4 PowerBook, I reinstalled OSX 10.3 (the original OS) after a "erase and install" using the Disk Utility. There were some issues with the original install disk, but Matt at the Genius Bar got me up and running. I had no trouble with internet access on the open network at the Apple Store.
After returning home (and 20+ attempts) I have been unable to access the internet on my home wifi network to do software updates.
I have upgraded to 10.4 then 10.5, but am only given the option to enter a WEP password to join my wireless ntework.
I am using a Time Machine and a WPA2 Personal password. Although I realize this may be the problem, I do not understand why the Powerbook had no connection issues prior to the reinstallation! Please, help!
