I installed a version of OS X 10.1 on a Powerbook G4, what do I need to do to make it sonnect to my wireless router? It finds it and tells me to enter the password which I do. But it continues to tell me that the password is incorrect.

What wifi router are you using, and what type of encryption (if any) — WEP, WPA, WPA2?

Cold Warrior aren't you the one that helped me about the installing of the OS X 10.1 on the crashed G4 last week. I'm so new to this mac stuff but really want to learn as I go.

Use the $ sign before your password, so it looks like "$password" without quotes.

Also, consider upgrading to WPA if you can. WEP is trivial to break.
