Does your iBook have wireless networking? If not, you'll need an ethernet cable.

and do you have an airport extreme card? *under the keyboard*

also check to see if your network is encrypted of any sort (like WEP)

Be more specific about won't work. If you have an AirPort Extreme card (most of the new iBooks do, including the one I have), is AirPort enabled in System Preferences? Is it picking up the right SSID?
