    Squeezing the Blueberry: 3.2GB HDD Clamshell OSX Tiger installation / guide

    I bought a first generation iBook g3 clamshell running os 9.2.1, and when I open the airport setup application, I can connect to my Netgear router, but when I open classilla, it can't connect to any pages. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
