I have used an iBook G4 for a year and a half I only use wireless Internet connections. I recently started getting error messages when I tried to perform a Software Update.
The error reads:
"Software Update can't connect to the update server. Make sure you're connected to the Internet, then try again.
Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem."

Perhaps at the same time (I hadn't paid too much attention at first) I found that I was unable to connect to the iTunes Store.
This error message read:
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The network connection was refused.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again."

A Google search shows that the second error message is common among PC users who think apple is conspiring to keep them out of the iTunes store with iTunes 7.1.1. My iTunes however, is only updated to 7.0.2.

I don't know about network settings but I don't make a point of ever fiddling with them. I assume both of these problems are symptoms of the same network mess-up.
