What OS are you on Andy?

Exactly which iBook do you have? This info can be found under the Apple menu "About this Mac' use 'shift + cmd +4' to do a drag selected screenshot of the info.

Once you know the exact Model you can look it up at:

That will tell you the maximum RAM which can be fitted and the latest OS it can run.

If it's a clean install of the OS it should simply find all the available wi-fi networks as soon as you start up for the first time at a given location and ask which one, then when you select yours, enter the passkey and that's it.

It may be the PO had disabled wi-fi and gone wired. That is what I do with my desktop Macs They are all on a Gigabyte network.

Keeping the it on the wi-fi every time you use it can be a challenge, that was an issue in those days. That is one of the issues that have been fixed in the latest Macs. With my MBP once I ave entered the Passkey for a particular location whenever I open the computer at that location it instantly latches onto that wi-fi network and just works.
