You're saying that the ibook has an IP when it's connected via
cable, or via wireless?  Can you go to the network preferences,
choose "airport", and show us what it says.  Then choose "TCP/IP"
and show us that too.

Next, open a terminal window and enter "ping 216.239.39.99".
Do you get a reply, or does it timeout or say "network unreachable"
or something?  If that works, try running "dig www.google.com".
Do you get a timeout message or a screenful of information?
