Also I just added a new AirPort card.
So I can only assume I messed something up.
Anyways please help.
iBook, Mac OS X (10.3.x), Just added a new AirPort card.

Thanks again to everyone!
Hello,
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
Is that Interface dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON?
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply.
Ok so I made a new connection name via network locations.
I then dragged it to the top where I had AirPort at the top of the list.
I even then tried the following:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
And applied it.
And still even under my new
location: Helvetica (newly created)
show: Network Status
It reads
Yellow Light Air Port ( Airport is connected to the network MOB(my home WiFi) Airport has a self assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet.
Red Light Helvetica ( Helvetica is configured, but not connected )
Red Light Internal Modem ( Internal Modem is not set up )
And when I try to connect to the Red Helvetica it takes me to a modem config page.
I swear I sound like a complete rookie.
But I have had several Mac's as well grew up on them.
This particular iBook was being thrown out at my University and I took it.
Where I have found another iBook G4, and a fully running eMac.
Anyways @BDAqua I really really want to thank you for your help.
And anything else you could perhaps suggest.
OK, it's not connecting to the Router, or Modem.
If your Router uses WPA2 you won't likely be able to connect, some early Macs needed a Firmware parch to even do WPA.
Instead of joining it from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
Whilst it may not be your fault I am afraid it appears that your post is on a forum which is not the best for your OS. It will save the time of the unpaid volunteers here, and may resolve your issue faster, if you could examine the list below and see if there is a more appropriate forum to which you could direct your question.
OS X 10.9 Mavericks
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
OS X 10.7 Lion
OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
OS X 10.5 Leopard
OS X 10.4 Tiger
OS X 10.3 and earlier
OS 9, OS 8 & System 7

Well firstly Neville for people who do this for free, I just want to thank them.
And if you are worried about fellow Mac users time for the unpaid advice they are helping me with.
Help that again I'm very thankful for, you seem to be someone who could have tried to help me perhaps?
Rather than posting a giant thing saying that I'm in the wrong section.
I have an iBook running OS X 10.3.9 I was under the impression that this section was:
OS X 10.3 and earlier.
If not, I apologize.
But I can also say for someone who has been a Mac user for over 27 years, I don't think you need to do your passive aggressive form of cyber bullying.
( but that's just what I feel ) as these sites and issues are sort of daunting to say someone who isn't on a computer full time for their job.
I'm simply trying to obtain help, and again I thought I was in the right place.
Apparently "Apple Support Communities" take wrongful forum comments very seriously.
Shoot ok, I just checked my MacBook Pro.
It says my WiFi is WPA/WPA2 Personal.
So when I click on my WiFi bar on my iBook it like starts to load.
And then bounces and says Safari can't find the server.
Thanks so much for everything.
But I guess like you were saying it may not connect since it's so old.
It works fine with the old school ethernet cable.
I just bought a AirPort card for it thought and was trying to make it wireless.
This forum is great, and I appretiate everyones help on here.
Thanks again @BDAqua
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Netwok>Airport, report this...
AirPort Card Information:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x4318)
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (4.170.25.8)
Current Wireless Network: AirPort is currently turned off
Actually 10.4 Tiger section, not a problem though, as 10.3 Panther & earliar may see few helpers... & I wouldn't take offense at Neville, I'm sure he was trying to help seeing as it isn't solved yet. 🙂
Hey @BDAqua for my AirPort Card Info I have:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 9.52
Current Wireless Network: M.O.B.
Wireless Channel: 9
But shoot.
When I try to load the internet on wireless it just bounces and says:
Safari can't find the server.
Safari can't open the page "http://www.apple.com/" because it can't find the server "www.apple.com"
That's it!
Still no working Wi-Fi lol.
☹!
I am still watching this.
I have never used OS X 10.3.
As I indicated, the OP will probably get a quicker resolution on the correct forum used by more people familiar with his very old OS.
I was surprised to see that it was not until September 2000 that an iBook capable of running Tiger was introduced. I am not sure if it is possible to put a minimum Tiger on earlier ones. The hard disk is quite small.
Hmmm, so it's connecting to the Router it seems, just not from there out!?
Open Network Utility>Ping tab, ping...
74.125.239.100
Any results?
Then ping...
google.com
Any results?
Still not getting past the router.
In Network Utility>Traceroute tab, try the number one, what is the last IP it gets to?
Traceroute has started ...

Would it be useful to check that wireless is set to DHCP both on the Mac and the router?
Whilst DHCP is often the default I have recently changed all my IPs (both wireless and wired) to fixed to increase security - this was slightly chicken and egg and not as easy as I thought it would be - with fixed IPs it is all too easy to have incompatible IPs.
@BDAqua I stopped it on the 11th sent to:
