Hi,

I have a iBook G4 running OSX 10.3.9

I have Sky Broadband with a Netgear wireless router

Recently brought a Mac Compatible USB wireless dongle.

I can connect to the sky broadband network wirelessly but for some reason everytime I open my browser it says.. 'cannot find server blah blah blah' and cannot see web pages?

I know all the hardware works because i can connect using my iBook with the wireless USB at work, and the browser shows the webpages. so that all seems to work fine.

back at home my flatmate has a pc laptop and has no problems connecting or viewing wirelessly.

another strange thing is that at home it sometimes takes ages to detect the sky network before i connect to it? and when it does pick it up i can take up to 5 minutes before it actually decides to connect to the network.

baffled!

any help would be a god send

cheers.
