When you say "looks like its connected", what exactly do you mean?

The output of the following commands would give us some detailed info to

	lspci
	ifconfig
	iwconfig
	cat /etc/resolv.conf
	
Also, what network address should your computer have?

The network manager should look after this for you.  It's on in "roaming
mode" by default and is beside the clock.
