LinuxQuestions.org - Fedora will not establish a connection. It looks but doesnt lock!

I am fairly new to linux, I getting to grips with the offline and I am starting to be converted. The major problem I have is that I cannot get it to connect to my wireless network. I am using Fedora and my wireless card is the Belkin Wireless G Desktop Network Card - F5D7000uk (version 3000uk).

I am able to see the network and pick up the essid automatically through networkmanager or iwlist scan.

I have tried to connect using Network manager;
- it picks up the information and I submit my WEP key and the icon top right shows two green dots with a blue flame(?) rotating between them for a few minutes before asking for my key again.

and using the terminal commands.

Code:

$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode managed

$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "BTHomeHub3-12GT"

$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 key 563865428

then tried to test the connection using

Code:

$ sudo ping www.bbc.co.uk

ping: unknown host www.bbc.co.uk

Code:

sudo iwconfig wlan0

wlan0    IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:"BTHomeHub3-12GT"  

          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated  

          Tx-Power=20 dBm  

          Retry min limit:7  RTS thr:off  Fragment thr=2352 B  

          Power Management:off

          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0

          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0

          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0  Missed beacon:0

If anyone can give me any help it would be greatly appreciated!
