iMac G4 not connecting to wireless network

[myuserid08]

I've just found my old G4, I'm now trying to connect it to the network (wireless).
It finds the router, I then connect, it asks for the key, enter wireless key, click connect.
I then receive the following message:
The password you entered is not correct for the Airport Network "Netgear".

The password is correct, any ideas?

Running Mac OS X 10.3.9

Reset the router. Try the airport card with other networks. or WEP vs WPA could be the problem.

The router is using a WPA2-PSK key, but there is only a WEP option on the iMac - could this be the problem?

That may be the problem. the airport card only supported WEP 40 and WEP128

I think thats the problem. I wouldn't recommend using WEP because it is not secure at all by today's standards bu that was what was used in the past.

If you upgrade to Tiger, you can use WPA with the original airport cards, but you cannot use WPA2.

Anything is more secure than WEP so a tiger upgrade might be needed.

You can do WPA on Panther. These guys have a writeup on how to do it.
