Thanks for any help. :o
I'm going to make a wild guess since you didn't give a lot of information.
When you try to connect to the network wirelessly a little box pops up and asks you for an encryption password. It prolly is defaulted to "WEP Password"
The first thing I would try would be to see if you can't pull that down as a menu and you should be able to choose from several types of passwords. like WEP Password, WEP 40/128, a couple others I can't remember off the top of my head.
So the first thing I would try would be to make sure that the type of security your using matches up with what you're telling the iMac to use.
