There are command line tools for this, I suggest you use them. Run iwconfig (as root) and see what turns up, ie, does it show it's associated? Are the lights blinking like they are associated?

thanks, i was able to get it working it was a problem with my dns for some reason i don't get the servers from my dhcp server (i do on every other computer) until i go in a check them, change something on it, then check them again, and they are there. Weird huh?
