Internet connection problem with ibook

Please help. I have an ibook and could connect to internet before we moved. My PC connects without problem. The ibook sees my network but when I try to connect it says "There was an error joing the AirPort Network________. I have tried everything I now. It is not my network but something with the setting in my ibook.

iBook, Mac OS X (10.3.x), Mac os x 500MHz Power PC G3 640

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.


What kind of encryption are you using on your network?


The original AirPort Card cannot connect to a WPA2 network.

Also, the iBook's original AirPort Card uses the 802.11b standard, so if you have a router that is set to a specific mode (g or n) which is higher than that, it needs to be set to mixed mode.
