Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - wireless "thing" not searching for networks

yes, I'm plugged into ethernet right now. I can sometimes connect for a minute or so after I unplug the ethernet cable, but it never stays connected for long. Also, the light that is supposed to signify that the WAN is accessing wireless networks never comes on. Perhaps the light is just broken. I don't know. I'm thinking of just getting a new computer all together. I am constantly struggling with this one. It is SOOOOOO frustrating.

What's your opinion on this: G3 apple ibook express, 700 mgHz, 20 GB harddrive, single core processor. The only problem that I really see is that the main drive is CD-ROM. Would that significantly limit me?

Thanks,
Libby
