Problem with iBook & Wifi after router upgrade

Does it give it a 'Self-Assigned IP Address'?

If so I would be curious as well to know the answer behind this one.

For a while I found Airport was getting a Self-Assigned IP Address from my LinkSys router... the error seemed to go away by itself after a few days so I never did find out what the problem was.

I have tried WPA+WPA2 and also WPA on its own... None work

With no security it connects no problem

I am thinking the mac must have something stored that needs to be cleaned but no idea.

I did have problems with my iBook at the time in regard to the battery life and the battery clock time gets lost because it loses all power before the time/date is saved.  I don't know if you suffer such power problems, but it was around this time I started experiencing problems with Airport.

I don't use my iBook anymore though as the crappy thin power lead has frayed for the 2nd time now and I can no longer charge it.  Shame its not MorphOS compatible otherwise I could probably buy a new cable and sell it to an interested MorphOS user.

I don't miss the iBook though as its so frigging slow playing videos on youtube and flash... ahhh lets no go there.
