[iBook] Ibook g4 doesn't see network after starting up

[gordens]

If the ibook doesn't see the wireless network, what could be the 
culprit?  I'll get a message about an error trying to join the network. 
  We open internet connect and won't be able to choose the "default" 
network... however, if you keep trying enough times, it will join up.
This is a new problem - about a week ago it started.  Every component 
is new - air port card, router, ibook.
Where do you look first?
