Problem connecting wirelessly with Ubuntu?

Question

Ok here is my problem.

First i installed a wireless nic without anyones help as no one would give me a straight answer.

Just a 'could you give more details or this and that' and i had to read forums which actually answered straightaway rather than asking questions non stop. And my threads had more detail!

Ok anyways. I have bell sympatico modem which is DSL.

I installed the external wireless card fine as it finds wireless networks fine and mine is listed there.

Now the problem is is that when i put in the key it looks like it's connected.

But internet does not work as i get page cannot be found or whatever error. I did an ifconfig and it gave me an (169).

I resetted my modem and it actually wont let me try without a key to see if it'll let me connect fine. In the MAC filter option i have it checked as disbaled to allow all computers.

Now because it's DSL do i have to do anything different? Beginner Linux User Help! And please if u dont know the answer dont bother
