Netgear + OS X 10.2.8 connection issues

[dravogadro]

Hello --

I have a netgear wireless router, WGR614, v4. I can access the wireless using PCs. My powerbook G3 is running OSX 10.2.8. Encryption is WEP 128 and open key.

Originally I was having the issue where I couldn't get any access to the router. I thought it was the '$' or "" problem with the password but it seems like that is only for older versions of airport. I switched to WPA but that is not supported below 10.3. Switched back to WEP and switched it to open key from shared. I was able to successfully enter the SSID and password and did not receive the error message. I had full signal and a checkmark next to the appropriate network.

However, when I tried accessing a website, nothing loaded. There is an unsecured network that I can switch to and things work fine. I have been able to access the internet on the powerbook through a wired connection. I feel that I am close but missing some step and have run out of ideas and google-fu.

Thank you in advance for any advice and suggestions.
