I installed Front Row (on my unsupported PowerBook) a while ago. Whenever I try to access the movie trailers, i get an error message saying the movie server is not responding. Is this becuse I run it on my powerbook which is unsupported or is apple's server just bad?

What kind of internet connection and network setup do you have? And people get that message even when the server obviously is responding, so you may just need to wait for stuff to load.

I use cable modem 384Kb/s. My powerbook is connected to my D-Link 802.11g by airport. But this happens even when I connect it via ethernet.

It is a common problem that was fixed with the latest front row update.

Did not fix it for me. It behaves just as before.
