I had problems aswell

Try unplugging your Modem, then plug it back in after about 10 seconds

Try the network connection assistant (applications> utilities (i think)), you should have a green light next to "network" & "isp"

That worked for me

Nevermind!

Woooooo!

I still can't figure out how to connect directly via my ethernet wire, BUT I just set my PC up with a router and connected my iBook EEEEASILY to that..

Problem solved!
