Do you get a signal meter in the notification area on your desktop? If so, double click on that. You may be prompted to enter your WPA/WPA2 credentials if you have your network secure.

If you don't see a signal meter, please cut and paste output from the following commands:

hey thnx SONIKK... BUT....
yeah, d signal is visible.. how 2 make out if d key is wpa128bit/LEAP/WEP etc etc... ive tried all d options and entered d key in each.. bt it asks again and again for the passkey.. and finally it doesnt connect...
