Did you enter the key for accessing wifi.

Also get confirmed the key is WEP or WPA or something else.

Ask the one who configured wireless router

Ask the admin who have configured the wireless router wheather the key you entered is correct or not and ask wheather macfiltering is enabled for accessing ?

And post the output of ifconfig here.
