last night i updated my G4 ibook from 10.3 to 10.4 and now the airport connects but i get the yellowe satus bubble saying it cant find an ip, i tried restarting, and resetting both base station (microsft mn-700) and my modem and still nothing, any advice on how to fix this becuase being tethered to my desk is a PITA.
Got a tip for us?

For debugging purposes: i use hardware growler which notifies me whenever I plug or unplug devices; whether or not IP addresses are released or received. Etc... Quite usefull actually 
might come in handy?
It looks like either your iBook does not broadcast a DHCP request or that your router does not respond to your request. Maybe something is getting blocked? Can you check your firewall logs?
And you AP is running a DHCP service and you iBook is configured to work with dhcp? Is your access point also 'discoverable'? If not, your iBook can't find it unless it knows it exists (hence: an initial connection/discovery is required).

Maybe try creating a new user account and seeing if that one works properly. If you used the upgrade option to get 10.4, sometimes some of the settings get a bit messed. A fresh user account should be fine though and that might help us narrow down to where the problem is.
